Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter

This Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter will fill your house with the scent of fall. Made with a few simple ingredients with minimal prep. Delicious on toast, waffles, or stirred into yogurt.

What's more fall than pumpkin pie spice simmering in a slow cooker?! Maybe if you make it while wearing a cozy sweater, with a light rain rapping on the window, while Hocus Pocus plays in the background. Good thing I'm making this in August.

• Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter

Ingredients

• canned pumpkin puree
• apple cider
• sugar
• pumpkin pie spice
• lemon juice

Instructions

In the bowl of a slow cooker or multi-cooker, add a 29 ounce can of pumpkin puree, ½ cup of apple cider, ½ cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir to combine.

Cover, and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 4-5 hours. Stir every hour. Let it cool, and store in airtight jars.

Pro Tips

• You can also use apple juice instead of cider, or leave it out all together for a thicker texture and more intense flavor.
• If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon of ginger, and a pinch of all spice or ground clove.
• You can also make this on the stovetop by bringing all ingredients to a boil, reducing to a simmer, and cooking for about 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
