Pumpkin Butter


WallMart by the Fox River Mall has pie pumpkins for 25 cents a lb. That comes to about 55-60 cents a pumpkin. This fall I bought several at a farmers market and paid 2-3.00 dollars a piece for them.



Stock up. Bake the pumpkins, seeds and pulp removed, in the oven, cut side down. at 375 until fork tender. After cooled, I freeze the pumpkin, 2 cups per freezer bag. Be sure to label contents and date.



Pumpkin Butter:



Being fresh pumpkin, I put everything in the food processor first to blend. Than transfer to a small kettle.



2 cups fresh cooked pumpkin
1/2-2/3 cup Brown Organic Sucanat Sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Cook for 15-20 minutes until pumpkin turns brown, stirring frequently.

Will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks.

Enjoy!!

Hope your doing wonderful!!!!!!

I just made a Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie. Would be great for Thanksgiving. Will post it probably tomorrow.
