Description

This 6 Ingredient Spiced Pumpkin Butter is a rich, flavorful spread made with pumpkin puree, apple cider, real maple syrup, and warming spices. Perfect for autumn, this versatile pumpkin butter is easy to make on the stovetop or in a slow cooker, thickening to a spreadable consistency ideal for toast, muffins, or as a flavorful addition to desserts.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 ounce each) pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 cup apple cider
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup, plus more if needed to sweeten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add pumpkin puree, apple cider, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Cook on Stovetop: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning. Let it cook for 20-30 minutes until the pumpkin mixture thickens to a spreadable consistency. Taste and add more maple syrup if needed for sweetness.
  3. Cool and Store: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pumpkin butter to cool; it will thicken as it cools. Transfer the pumpkin butter into glass jars and refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
  4. Alternative Slow Cooker Method: Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker bowl. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. During the last 45 minutes, remove the lid to allow thickening. After cooking, turn off the heat, let cool, then transfer to jars and store as above.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup to your taste preferences.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned for convenience.
  • This pumpkin butter thickens further as it cools; consistency should be spreadable but not too runny.
  • Store in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.
  • Great to use as a spread on toast, as a topping for yogurt, or incorporated into baked goods.
