    💭 Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this recipe.

    What is pumpkin butter?

    Pumpkin butter is a simple pumpkin puree that has been sweetened and spiced and cooked down until it becomes thick and creamy.

    What is pumpkin butter made of?

    Pumpkin butter is made from real (pure) pumpkin puree with apple cider, white and light brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.

    Can I use apple juice instead of apple cider to make pumpkin butter?

    Yes, apple juice can be substituted if you do not have apple cider when making pumpkin butter.

    What does pumpkin pie spice contain?

    Pumpkin pie spice usually contains a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger - warm spices that go really well with pumpkin desserts!

    What can I use if I don't have pumpkin pie spice?

    If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, add the following instead:
    - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    - 1 teaspoon nutmeg
    - ½ teaspoon each ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground allspice

    How long does pumpkin butter last?

    Pumpkin butter will keep well up to 1 month in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.

    Is pumpkin butter the same as pumpkin puree?

    No. Pumpkin puree is just pureed pumpkin. Pumpkin butter is pumpkin puree that's been mixed with sugar and spices to create a spread.

    Can I freeze pumpkin butter?

    Yes. You can either freeze individual servings in ice trays or larger amounts in an airtight container for several months.

    You can learn How to Make Homemade Pumpkin Puree here, or you can use store-bought canned pumpkin. Just be sure it is pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

    ⏲️ Storage

    Store your pumpkin butter in a canning jar with a lid (or another airtight container) in the refrigerator for us to 1 month.

    Alternatively, you can freeze it. Be sure to leave enough headroom in the jar if it is going to be frozen. Pumpkin butter in the freezer will keep for up to 6 months.

    You could also pick up some baker's twine to wrap around the top of the jar to make a little gift for friends and neighbors. Make sure if you are gifting it that you tell them to keep it in the refrigerator. 

    ⭐ Tips

    ✔️ Be sure to pick up the right can at the grocery store. This recipe calls for pure pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling. You can also make your own pumpkin puree.

    ✔️ Allow the pumpkin butter to cool before ladling it into jars. It will be much easier to handle the jars!

    📖 Variations

    • Replace half of the brown sugar with maple syrup for a pumpkin butter with a subtle maple flavor.
    • Substitute apple juice for apple cider.
    • You can taste the pumpkin butter and then add more spices to it as you like.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    It's great for spreading on toast, bagels, and rolls. It is also delicious on pancakes, mixed into overnight oats, and spread onto crepes. It also makes a really amazing filling for oat bars. You can even add it to smoothies or put it on top of ice cream!
