(Pumpkin Butter)
It's an easy recipe that takes about 45 minutes. You can certainly do it up by using home made applesauce and pumpkin.
It will last about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. I like to divide it into small jars and give some out as little gifts.
Ingredients:
2 cans (15oz each) of 100% pure pumpkin
2 cups applesauce
2/3 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions:
1. Stir all ingredients in a heavy, medium saucepan until blended. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
2. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Be sure to stir often to prevent scorching. Mix should be very thick when finished.
3. Allow to cool completely then cover and refrigerate.
Jack and I, stirring and simmering.
That's pretty much the extent of my crafting skills
On the way out the door to family and friends.
This would be a fabulous addition to the gift baskets I'm doing for Christmas!

Looks and sounds awesome! I can my own applesauce. Have you ever tried canning it in a 'canner'? I would love to be able to preserve it and give it as gifts. :D
