Pumpkin Butter Recipe: A Fall Favorite to Spice Up Everyday Dishes
Learn how to make a homemade pumpkin butter recipe on the stovetop. Made using minimal ingredients, this pumpkin butter is simply a combination of fresh pumpkin, sugar and spices. Spread this delightful, fall flavored butter on bread and biscuits. Or use it spice your favorite dishes to give them seasonal flare. It’s the perfect addition to pancakes, yogurt and overnight oats.
Every fall, I have to make at least one batch of pumpkin butter. Although not as popular as apple butter, pumpkin butter is a fall favorite that has similar spices and all the taste of the season.
If you’ve never had homemade pumpkin butter, then you must try this pumpkin butter recipe. It’s similar to a pumpkin pie, but it’s easier to make. You can also eat it several different ways, so it’s more versatile than a pumpkin pie. It’s rich and creamy and tastes like pumpkin pie in a jar with a buttery texture.
Pumpkin butter is easier to make than you probably think it is! You just need fresh or canned pumpkin, sugar, and spices.
I prefer the taste of fresh pumpkin when making a pumpkin butter recipe. However, preparing a fresh pumpkin is definitely a labor of love. You’ll need to cut it, bake it, and then peel it. It does give this pumpkin butter a delicious homemade taste, but you can use canned pumpkin and still make a good butter.
If you do buy canned pumpkin, make sure you get pure pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling. I recommend buying organic because I think it has a fresher flavor.

I have made this apple pie for many, many years (I have been married to my favorite husband for 52 years), but what I do to make it extra special is to top it with a drizzle icing of mixed powdered sugar, softened butter and cream - makes it AWESOME!
