Healthy Pumpkin Butter

Fall is in the air and it is the season for all things pumpkin!

This Pumpkin Butter recipe is very easy and delicious! Most all pre-made pumpkin/apple butters are high in sugar and highly processed. Making your own is actually quite simple and you can control the ingredients!

This is very low in sugar, low calorie, super easy to make, healthier & less expensive than buying it! And did I mention it’s delicious?!☺😉👍

This recipe can be modified based on your preference & ingredients available. Add less/more spice or sweetener…I think it tastes great the way it is! 😊

🎃Recipe:🎃

I cup (canned) pure pumpkin puree (not pie mix)
1/4 cup Baking granulated Erythritol (ie Swerve or Anthony’s Brand)
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP liquid sweetener: pure maple syrup, pure raw honey, or possibly agave
1/2 tsp vanilla or maple extract
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp each: nutmeg, ginger, allspice
Optional but recommended: 1/4 tsp Pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan on medium low heat. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning. Let it cook for anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Turn heat off & cover, letting the flavors blend for an additional few minutes. When it is completely cool, transfer to an airtight jar (this made 2 small jars.)
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
