This recipe is for Pumpkin Butter, similar to Apple Butter for toast and such. This is a great fall/winter hostess gift or a gift for teachers, neighbors, etc. I usually make up a batch and we keep one small jar for ourselves. This is excellent on toast, muffins or biscuits. I usually attach a small tag tied with raffia or ribbon to my jars saying what it is and what to put it on.It makes the house smell yummy too while it cooks!
Pumpkin Butter
INGREDIENTS:
1 (15 oz) can solid pack pumpkin (for those of you who cook your own pumpkin it is about 1 3/4 c pumpkin)
1 c applesauce
3/4 c apple juice
1/2 c brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to sterile containers and refrigerate until serving.
**NOTE: I reuse jars so I don't know what size my jars are, but I can tell you that this batch fills about 3 smaller sized jars. The recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled if you want to make more. The cooking time would need to be increased as well.**

My friend has an old house in Vermont they use for the weekends to ski. The have an old fashioned toboggan mounted diagonally right on the wall. I would have never thought of that; but it looks awesome!
