Pumpkin butter?

For those of you good at making flavored butter, how do you do this one? Anything besides just mixing some pumpkin and real butter? How much of each? Thanks.

I did find two older ones in here from years past. Looking for newer ones too. Not listed yet.

QualityGal, the only pumpkin butter I am aware of is a substance sililar to apple butter.

It is not pumpkin and butter. I made some, baked a pumpkin, pureed it, added spices and sugar. Cooked it for a long time. It was good, but I probably won't make it again. Too much trouble.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve. Traditional pumpkin butter as most people think of it is like apple butter. But there is a restaurant I frequent, a "home cooking" type of place, that serves their freshly made biscuits with "apple butter" that is soft whipped butter with apple (pie filling, applesauce, and/or seasoning?) mixed in. It is essentially apple-flavored butter. Not nearly as intense as apple butter. So you could do that if you wanted apple-flavored butter. Would depend on preference.

That's cool! I've got it saved, I'll have to go see what else they have too. Thanks.

Thank you ladies. It does look like more than I thought it might be though. Interesting site though.

Did you see the blog from Jill Bauer called "Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter - How to Put Fall in a Bottle...Well, Jar!"

It was posted a few weeks ago, 9/22, and it sounds easy and delicious.

Here's a link in case you're interested ~

I'm not much of a cook but this looks so good I'm putting it on my list of things to try.

I did SusieQ and copied and laminated it, so I'd have it. Thanks so much.

I mentioned this in another post a little while ago, but maybe it should be here.

Saw jars of Maple Pumpkin Butter at Costco today for $6.99.

This would be good for me as I am sure that I would not use more than one jar per year if that. I do like it but just don't eat much toast, bread or crackers, so a little lasts a long time.

I make this and I use canned pumpkin with my sugar and spices. I put it in the crock pot and stir every so often and I can mine. The FDA police will probably be at my door someday to haul me in because I don't think you are supposed to can it. My recipe makes 4-6 half pints and it is usually gone in no time.
