Smoked Pumpkin Butter

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups smoked pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup real maple syrup
• 2-4 tablespoons apple cider

  start with two and add more if needed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  substitute with vegetable oil or vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon bourbon
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  adjust to your liking
• 1/8 tsp ground ginger
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

• 1 Melt butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat for 30-45 seconds.
• 2 Add smoked pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider, bourbon,
  spices, and salt.
• 3 Cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Watch for signs of
  scorching and reduce heat as needed.
• 4 If the mixture becomes too thick, add a few more tablespoons of cider or water
  to thin it out. Please note that fresh pumpkin puree will contain more liquid
  and might not need additional apple cider.
• 5 Once the mixture has caramelized and takes on a darker, shiny appearance, it is
  done.
• 6 Remove the pot from the heat, and let the smoked pumpkin butter cool completely.
  Use right away, or transfer to an airtight container and store in your
  refrigerator for 7-9 days.
