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.
Love the flavors in this recipe! From apple juice, to maple to pumpkin yummyness!!!
Oh my – I am SO in love with this!! maple pumpkin butter – sounds so fantastic.
That looks like it should be on some toasted sourdough for me, amazing !! You should be selling it 😉
Oh, I think I would spread this deliciousness on everything… I love it! I need this!!
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*. 🙂
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 🙂
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!
OH man, so awesome! This butter looks insanely good. And I love that it’s healthy 🙂 healthy butter, wooot!
Word!
I just to stick my finger down into that jar SO BAD! It looks delicious!
You know, I always make apple butter but have never made pumpkin butter. Great recipe!
