Pumpkin Butter
There are so many reasons I love Pumpkin Butter, but the main reason is you get the delightful taste of pumpkin pie in a fraction of the time and effort! I love to spread it on toast, biscuits, scones, pound cake and so much more. There are endless serving options for pumpkin butter!
Our pumpkin butter also makes really great gifts! I love making a double or even triple batch and jarring them up as edible holiday gifts or even hostess gifts!
