Ingredients

2 cups Pumpkin Puree
½ cup Apple Juice
½ cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

Combine the 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.
Simmer the Mixture. 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.
Add Vanilla and Lemon Juice. 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.
Cool and Store. Let the pumpkin butter cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
