FAQ's
Pumpkin butter is made of sugar and spice and pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix).
Home canning is not recommended for pumpkin butter because of the low acidity, even if you use a water bath. However it can be easily preserved by freezing!
When it's cooled, ladle the butter into small jars and refrigerate. It will last 5-7 days in the fridge.
Storage
Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. I use small six to eight ounce containers or a small mason jar (jam jars) they are just about the right size! Refrigerate 5-7 day. This freezes nicely up to three months.
