Pumpkin Butter is perhaps one of the best most memorable treats of the season. With Pie and Sugar Pumpkins available at such reduced prices, take advantage of it. I make the Pumpkin seeds at the same time. Check out my Slideshare for Pumkin seeds coming soon!

2. Pumpkin Butter from HydroHarvestFarms.com
Choose your Sugar Pie Pumpkin. This is a small Pumpkin that is very sweet and has a lot
of flesh.
To make the puree:
Cut your pie pumpkin in half starting at the stem and around. Remove the seeds and
stringy inside. Place the halves on a cookie sheet and place in 325 oven for about 45
minutes. Remove and let cool. Scoop the flesh out with an ice cream scooper or
something similar. Place flesh in a large stainless cook pot for further cooking. One
pumpkin should yield about 3 cups of puree.
Making the Pumpkin Butter
For every 3 cup pumpkin puree add:
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Seasoning
Add the above ingredients to the pot of pureed pumpkin and heat on low, stirring
occasionally.
Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile fill your canner with water and place the rack inside; bring to a boil.
Fill the clean jars to 1/4 inch from the top with the hot pumpkin mixture. Then
tamp the jar on the countertop several times to try to work out the bubbles.
Place clean bands and lids on the jars and tighten.
Place jars in Boiling Bath for 20 minutes.
Remove and cool.
Makes 3 ½ Pint jars.
