    FAQ's

    What is pumpkin butter made of?

    Pumpkin butter is made of sugar and spice and pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix).

    Can Pumpkin Butter be canned?

    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!

    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.

    Recipe backstory

    This recipe was originally shared on Freaky Friday Recipes. That's when a number of us bloggers get together and switch blogs to share for the day.

    This go-around I was assigned Who Needs A Cape? And let me tell you, Lori and knows her way around a kitchen!

    I decided since this our fall edition I definitely wanted to make something with apples or pumpkin and began pursuing her blog. I ended up on the slow cooker tab and quickly went down the rabbit hole!

    Guys, there are a TON of recipes there so be sure to stop by and visit Lori's blog and check out her little slice of the internet. In addition to having an abundance of terrific recipes, she also shares DIY tips, family and travel.

    When you check out her recipe for Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal, you'll know why it was so hard for me to choose! Then there is Pumpkin Bread, which is absolutely delicious with the streusel topping, yum!! Or No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls!

    So hard to choose!

    So after long deliberation, the recipe I decided upon..... drumroll please.... is a Crockpot Pumpkin Butter Recipe! And you will love it!
