Pumpkin Butter is the last in our series of pumpkin recipes for fall from Delightful Table’s lead cooking instructor Scheherezade Daftary.
“About a year ago I got a pumpkin and I made some puree out of it because I didn’t have time to figure out what to do with it. I left it in my freezer and sort of forgot about it.
When I got a serious craving for something pumpkin flavored, I remembered that I had that puree in my freezer. I dug through the back of my freezer and low and behold, there was the bag of frozen puree.
I put it in the slow cooker with 1 cup of brown sugar and spices and let it do it’s thing until it became pumpkin butter. It is delicious!!”
