Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups or fresh pumpkin puree

  • 3/4 cup apple juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

1. Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan and stir well. Bring mixture to a boil, covered with lid ajar. Reduce heat to low-medium and simmer, covered with lid ajar, for 35-45 minutes, stirring frequently. Be careful as the mixture bubbles and pops!

2. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before removing lid. Adjust spices to taste. Stir in lemon juice. Once cool, pumpkin butter can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
