I love Pumpkin butter on my bagel with cream cheese, trust me, it’s so good!

Throw everything in the slow cooker and be amazed by the delicious smell!

Every Christmas, my good friend gives us a delicious jar of pumpkin butter that her farm makes.

I treasure every drop of deliciousness! Now I can make it any time of the year! 

Open the cans of pumpkin and pour them into the slow cooker.

Let’s prolong the flavors of fall with this delicious Pumpkin Butter!

Next add both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger.

It’s super tasty with wonderful pumpkin and spices.

It’s unbelievably easy to make, requires only a few simple ingredients, and can be canned or frozen and saved for when you need a pumpkin fix on a chilly day. 

I will be serving this perfect Pumpkin Butter on Thanksgiving Day with crescent rolls!

It’s the best way to enjoy pumpkin all year long!

I can’t wait to try this. How long do you this this will keep? I may want to add it to my christmas gift baskets. Would you recommend processing in a water bath to increase its ability to last?

Hi Jen,

I love giving this as gifts! Just spoon the pumpkin butter into half pint canning jars or food storage containers and store in freezer for up to one year.

The USDA doesn't recommend canning pumpkin butter even though many home cooks have been canning homemade pumpkin butter for years and putting it up in jars. I have processed my jars for 45 minutes in a hot water bath and keep them in the freezer just to be safe.

If you aren't canning then just store in the freezer or refrigerator.

Every Christmas, I make my Grandma's stack cake with apple butter made in the slow-cooker. It has such a great, deep flavor. I bet pumpkin butter would be the same.
