Homemade Pumpkin Spread
Ingredients
  • 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
1
Examine five 1/2-pint jars for any visible damage, such as cracks or signs of rust on the rings. Discard any jars that are not in good condition.
2
Submerge the remaining jars into a pot of simmering water to prepare them for use. Clean and sanitize unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
3
Combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, apple juice, ground ginger, cinnamon sticks, and whole nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it is well blended and comes to a boil. Gradually reduce the heat and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the pumpkin butter reaches the desired consistency, approximately 30 minutes.
4
Fill hot, sterilized jars with the pumpkin butter, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Use a blunt utensil to gently remove any air bubbles that may have formed inside the jars. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp cloth to remove any excess liquid.
5
Secure the lids and screw rings firmly onto the jars. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before refrigerating them.
