Fall & Pumpkin Time

I Love FALL
I started looking for pumpkin & apple recipes a couple of weeks ago.
Bought some pumpkin for cookies a few days ago.
Tried a new recipe yesterday:
Pumpkin Butter!!

It is sooooooo yummy.
I can't stop eating it!!!!!!!!!
Can't stop thinking of all the ways to use it...
...Top toast, muffins, crumpets,
ice cream topping, frosting, cake filling,
cheese cake, pancake topping ---
---share with the neighbors.

Here's the recipe.


Pumpkin Butter

· 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree

· 3/4 cup apple juice

• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine pumpkin, apple juice, spices, and sugar in a large saucepan; stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened. Stir frequently.
2. Transfer to sterile containers and chill in the refrigerator until serving.

*I substituted sugar with ½ cup unpacked brown sugar and 1 tsp stevia. I also used 1 cup more apple juice (from frozen concentrate) and only added 1/3 of water when I reconstituted.

Got to go now -- to have some toast with pumpkin butter.

HAPPY FALL
