– Easy to Make. Ready in under 30 minutes with minimal effort.
– Versatile. Use it on toast, in oatmeal, as a dessert topping, or even as a filling for pastries.
– Fall Flavors. Warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg pair perfectly with the smooth pumpkin puree.
– Homemade Goodness. No preservatives, just wholesome ingredients.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of pumpkin puree, ½ cup of apple juice or cider, ½ cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture has thickened and darkened in color, remove it from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
