Fall is the perfect time to enjoy homemade pumpkin butter. Spread it on toast, bagels, English muffins, pancakes, waffles and maybe even cornbread. There are no limits!

Ingredients

• 2 c. pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
• 1/2 c. raisins
• 1/3 c. maple syrup
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 3/4 t. ground cinnamon
• 1/8 t. ground cloves
• 1/8 t. ground allspice
• 1/4 - 3/4 c. water

Steps

1. Combine all ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring often, until pumpkin has become caramelized and dark brown and has a thick and shiny consistency. Stir every couple of minutes and use a heavy-bottomed pan, so that it doesn't burn.
2. Puree with immersion blender.
3. Serve.
