This simple homemade pumpkin butter recipe is sure to please pumpkin enthusiasts. It's better than pumpkin pie in a jar. It tastes great smeared on toast, oatmeal, yoghurt, and other foods. Fruit-flavoured butters are free of dairy. These resemble jam with homemade or canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.

Here in this recipe, apple cider and maple syrup are used to provide some flavour and sweetness to the pumpkin butter. You'll adore spreading some on toast or incorporating it into your yoghurt and cereal. You can also roll it in these pumpkin butter crepes or spread some on a slice of toasted pumpkin banana bread. This dish won't let you down.
