I saw a recipe for pumpkin butter and it looked so good I had to try it. First of all, the word "butter"is so decieving. when i think of butter I think of rich and fat laden cream. Pumpkin butter has no fat whatsoever. It is creamy and spreadable and sweet, but no heavy cream or even butter in the recipe.I love it because it is versitle and ofcourse healthy. I cant stop talking about the beta carotene in pumpkin and all the antioxidents, not to mention vitamin A and C. I dropped a dollop of this gem in my oatmeal, but it would be great spread on bread or bagel, in yogurt, french toast, pancakes....yum, the list goes on. I looked up a bunch of recipes and then kind of created my own.
To make Pumpkin Butter
1 can pumpkin puree $1.99
1/2 cup sugar .33
1 tsp cinnamon .10
mix together in a saucepan and simmer on low for 1 hour, stirring constantly
mixture should thicken within that hour and become like butter
make oatmeal according to recipe, when made pour into bowl and spoon a 1/4 cup of pumpkin butter on the oatmeal, stir in and enjoy!
