Pecan Pumpkin Butter

Yep, it’s another pumpkin post. I’m obsessed, people. And there are a million more pumpkin recipes to come; I can’t stop myself. It’s like an addiction.

I might have mentioned before how much I love Williams-Sonoma and all of their cooking gadgets and (un)necessities. And this time of year, they sell a magnificent pumpkin bread mix and jarred pecan pumpkin butter. But at the rate that I can consume both of those items, I’d need a small loan to fund myself through the season. Not only that, but I have this thing about making things from scratch.

You know, that thing where you tell yourself that the calories don’t count if it’s home baked versus purchased at a store or restaurant?

Mmm-hmm. These calories soooooo don’t count.

Pecan Pumpkin Butter

Ingredients

1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
1/2 cup spiced apple cider (I had some leftover that we’d mulled in spices, but you could certainly use apple juice)
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Directions

Bring all ingredients to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely, then spread on bread, over yogurt and granola, in oatmeal, or on pancakes.

Or eat with a spoon.

I haven’t tried pumpkin butter before. I definitely need to try it soon!! I completely agree with calories not counting in homemade foods! 😉

THANK YOU!!! I love this stuff with Pumpkin Bread during Nov/Dec… I went online to order a jar and Williams & Sonoma are sold out! So, now I too will be making my own with fresh pumpkin… Yum! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  And so much cheaper than the W&S version (although I do love theirs!!). You’ve just reminded me that I need to make this again – SOON!

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
