Excellent for all pumpkin lovers! If you make it with fresh pumpkin like I did, you may have to simmer it a lot longer in order to get it thick enough. Regular pumpkin pie spice works great if you don't have all the other spices.

I actually have a question about this recipe...hope someone can help! The canning safety questions alarmed me a bit. But should I make this recipe and freeze my jars, then it should be fine? When I go to use, would I just thaw it in the refrigerator?

I made this recipe with a small class of young chefs (5-11 yr olds). We followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. In class we mashed our mixture with forks, if at home I would have used my food processor to blend more evenly. We put our pumpkin butter in baby food jars to enjoy at home. It is an easy recipe and turns out delicious.

This is fabulous but DON'T can it! It's unsafe to do so. A water bath cannot get the core of the sauce hot enough to be safe to can. Only cubed pumpkin should be canned and only in a pressure canner. If you freeze this it will be fine.

Is pumpkin butter safe to can? I have found evidence that you should freeze or refrigerate. I do want to try this recipe but will give it as gifts to put in the fridge. UPATE: This freezes very nicely! I loved making it. I put it in the crock pot on low for about 6 hours. It made the house smell lover-ly. I used the Ball brand freezer containers (1/2 pint) and can't wait for the gift giving season. THANKS!
