Tips for Making the BEST Pumpkin Butter Recipe

  • Frequently stir the pumpkin mixture as it simmers. This will prevent the mixture from burning onto the bottom of the pot.
  • Don’t skip out on adding the butter at the end. The small amount of butter really helps to make a silky smooth and rich pumpkin butter.
  • Adjust the spices based on your flavor preference!
