Brooklyn in the fall is easy to love. Then again, isn’t everything about fall just dreamy? I could leaf peep, apple pick, and swim in Italian cashmere all day (anyone hiring?).
Speaking of Italian cashmere, I am obsessed with this polka dot beauty. What’s on your fall wish list?! I want to know!
While you think on that, and I debate my potential purchase, let’s talk pumpkin butter for a minute, ok? I made some yesterday! It’s vegan, sugar free, and will someone please stop me from eating it straight from the jar, because it’s almost all gone! Yes, It’s good good stuff.
So good in fact, you should probably go make some right now; it’s easy! All you need is canned pumpkin puree (or make your own!), apple juice, spices (ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg), maple syrup, lemon, and a few minutes. And, go!
(Vegan) Maple Pumpkin Butter – Baker by Nature
Makes about 2 cups
1 – 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
1/2 cup apple juice
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
In a large saucepan combine pumpkin, apple juice, maple syrup, and spices, stir well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the mixture has thickened, stir in lemon juice and adjust spices to your liking. Once the pumpkin butter has cooled, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
I still have one cup of homemade pumpkin puree left…a half batch of this sounds sooo tempting!
P.s. NYC is absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the fall! I was there two years ago, and will be back in 2 weeks 🙂 It’s my favorite time to visit!
This looks incredible. And for being vegan, it sure looks hearty and flavorful!
Oh, I totally agree, I love everything about fall!
And this combo of maple syrup and pumpkin sounds a wonderful representative of fall food!
I love that there’s apple juice in here! Sounds so good! And maple, cinnamon, cloves..totally my kind of spices!
YUM! This looks fantastic!
Ooh, this sounds just lovely. I would love this on a freshly made, buttery biscuit. Now I’m totally craving that!
Wow, Ashley, this sounds and looks delicious…I would love to spread this pumpkin butter on my bread right now 🙂
Thanks for the recipe and have a great week!
Wow! This pumpkin butter HAS.IT.ALL! apple, pumpkin, ginger, maple… I would spread it on everything – apples, toast, crackers, pita, and dtip salty pretzels into it! 🙂
Oh yum! Guaranteed LIKE!! 🙂
Hey Ashley! Hope you’ve stayed safe and made it through this storm okay. And for the record, if I’m ever in NY again…I’m going to have to come by for dessert. You always kill me with these recipes. 🙂
On my way to the kitchen as I type this! This looks too good not to try! 🙂
I would have never guessed pumpkin butter was so easy to make. I’m beyond tempted to make it, but at the same time know I shouldn’t because I would probably polish the batch off in a couple days! Ahhh sounds amazing!
NEEED to make this!
I am dreaming of all the wonderful ways to enjoy this pumpkin butter!
I would use this forever my friend 😀
Cheers

New York in the fall is beyond gorgeous and this pumpkin butter is as well. I would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Mmmmmmm…. I love pumpkin butter and the addition of maple only would make it more delicious!
I love pumpkin butter! I just made a batch last week, but I love that you added maple in yours – such a yummy idea Ashley!
That jcrew sweater is so cute! I wish the weather here was cool enough for sweaters…a few more weeks then we’ll have our sweater weather 🙂
Gosh, I think this just might usurp apple butter! It sounds amazing!
You know, I always make apple butter but have never made pumpkin butter. Great recipe!
I just to stick my finger down into that jar SO BAD! It looks delicious!
OH man, so awesome! This butter looks insanely good. And I love that it’s healthy 🙂 healthy butter, wooot!
Word!
Oh wow…this looks delicious. My only question is, how long does it keep in the fridge? Was considering making some fun things like this to use as holiday gifts.
Hi Melissa! I’ve had a jar in the fridge for over a week now and it’s still as tasty as day one. I hope that helps!
Hope you are safe and warm over there in Brooklyn! I love Brooklyn, I have friends in Williamsburg and they are all safe (thank God). Wish I could ship you some sunshine, update us with the condition of your neighborhood and your safety when you can 🙂
You made homemade pumpkin butter and there is maple in it? I have been passing by in front of pumpkin butter at Trader Joe’s many times. I’m so tempted to buy but not sure how I can use it all… Your homemade sounds a lot more delicious (and healthier!). This is a great holiday gift too *hint hint*. 🙂
Oh, I think I would spread this deliciousness on everything… I love it! I need this!!
That looks like it should be on some toasted sourdough for me, amazing !! You should be selling it 😉
Oh my – I am SO in love with this!! maple pumpkin butter – sounds so fantastic.
Love the flavors in this recipe! From apple juice, to maple to pumpkin yummyness!!!
I so wanted to try it, it looks delicious and tasty, yummy
O-M-G! I never thought to make pumpkin butter before!?!?! I’m all over this!!!
