Pumpkin Butter


This is one of my favorite recipes. You would not believe how good it tastes, and how easy it is to make:

Pumpkin Butter
1 can of pumpkin (15 oz.)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. cloves
3 Tbsp. lemon juice

**In place of the spices, you may substitute about 1 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie seasonings.

Microwave Method:
Combine and stir all ingredients together in a microwave safe glass bowl. Cook on high for 7 to 8 minutes stirring every 2 minutes. Let cool.

Stovetop Method:
Combine all ingredients together in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.

Makes about 2 cups.

This is great served warm!
