Spiced Pumpkin Spread
Spiced Pumpkin Spread is velvety and richly seasoned, balancing earthy pumpkin with warm notes of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. A hint of apple juice brightens the sweetness, resulting in a thick, spoonable condiment that feels cozy and autumnal. Serve it on toast, pancakes, waffles, or swirl it into yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast or a snack.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, apple juice, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, stirring until evenly mixed. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until thickened, about 30 to 35 minutes. The pumpkin butter is done when dragging a spoon through it leaves a trail that doesn’t immediately fill in.

Ladle the pumpkin butter into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Slide a thin spatula or knife around the inside to release air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel and fasten the lids tightly.
