I had always assumed that making my own pumpkin butter would be similar to making my own apple butter – pretty easy for the most part, but an all-day wait for it to be ready. And it probably would take all day if we were using fresh pumpkin in this easy homemade Pumpkin Butter, but we’re not.
Using canned pumpkin cuts the prep time by more than half, and you’ll quickly be enjoying this rich, velvety homemade Pumpkin Butter that’s just bursting with fall flavors.
