    If you’re a fan of pumpkin spice, you’re going to love this easy recipe! It's similar to an apple butter or honey butter recipe except it's pumpkin flavored. It’s thick, flavorful, and naturally sweetened! It’s perfect for using as a spread or to just enjoy by itself as a delicious fall treat. Enjoy some straight from the fridge or warm it up before using it.

    • Brown sugar
    • Maple syrup
    • Apple juice
    • Vanilla

    What kind of pumpkin should I use?

    Make sure to use pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling.
