I love love love a piece of good bread with jam in the mornings with coffee. I recently decided to take a bit of the pumpkin puree I made and turn it into some lovin’ for my toast. It’s incredibly easy and super tasty. I’m sure there are some recipes online but I just freestyled it. I really need to replenish my fall spices, but what I had on hand worked fine.
Pumpkin Butter:
3-4 frozen pumpkin “pucks” (roughly 1 1/2-2 cups)
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom to taste. Allspice would be a good addition too.
Maple syrup to taste
1 tablespoon good butter (like Plugra)
A bit of confectioner’s sugar if it seems too thin
Defrost pumpkin, strain if it seems watery. Add spices, syrup, butter. Add powdered sugar until it is a good consistency. Refrigerate and use within a week or so.
For years my daughter loved to eat cream cheese and pumpkin butter sandwiches in her lunch. š
