Pumpkin Butter

My sister-in-law, Cathy, is so creative. 

She is going to be a contributor on this blog, so expect some great things!!

Here is some pumkin butter that she made and canned and decorated super cute. 

Who wouldn't want to receive one of these as a gift?! 

So, her recipe sounds super simple, and pumpkin butter is SO good.

So, I'm gonna have to try this one out. 

(You should too!)

Pumpkin Butter

Ingredients

29 to 32 oz pumpkin (canned)

1 T. pumpkin pie spice

¾ oz to 1 oz powdered pectin

4 cups sugar

Mix together first 3 ingredients in a 4 qt pot or larger (it splatters), heat on med high until very hot, it will not boil.

Add sugar, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Boil hard for 1 min. remove from heat.

Let sit for 5 minutes. Ladle into sterile containers, put lids on.

Makes 6 to 7 half pint jars.

I put them in a water bath (boil completely submerged in water for 10 minutes) to can them. Allow to cool on a dry towel for 24 hrs. the lids will seal.

Easy, right?! 

Then you can decorate them like she did, if your giving them away as gifts. 

Happy weekend before Thanksgiving!!  ;)
