Enjoy this 20-minute homemade Pumpkin Butter spread on your morning bagels, oats, yogurt bowls, etc! Or add it into your favorite fall bakes. Either way, this is the ultimate sweet pumpkin fall spread that you can easily make at home!
Add all the ingredients into a large sauce pan and mix it together. Turn the stove on low to medium heat.
Simmer the pumpkin butter, occasionally giving it a stir every few minutes to prevent burning. Continue to simmer on low to medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the pumpkin butter has thickened and darkened significantly. Most of the moisture should have simmered off.
(Optional) Continue to simmer the pumpkin butter for up to 30-40 minutes so it gets really thick and deepens the rich flavor.
Taste and adjust for spices, acidity, and sweetness. Remove the pan from heat and allow the pumpkin butter to cool completely.
Transfer the pumpkin butter to a large jar and store it in the refrigerator. Use it as a spread for bagels, oats, pancakes, etc.
