Pumpkin Butter

PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN, PUMPKIN! Can you tell what is on my mind?! I can't get enough of that stuff!  I made this amazing pumpkin butter last year, and I just fell in love with it.  It is SO easy, and you can put it on/in anything! It makes a good size batch, so you can experiment with it.  I have a few more recipes with it that I want to try.  It's been a rainy day here today, and what is better than staying inside and cooking up a batch of this wonderful  pumpkin butter.  It makes your house smell amazing.  You HAVE to try this!

Recipe slightly altered from Gina's Skinny Recipes(by the way I LOVE her blog!)

• 3/4 cup apple cider
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

I used this fresh cider I purchased at the apple orchard last weekend. It is so fresh, pure, and delicious!

Add the cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice.

Add the packed brown sugar, and mix well.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 30-40 minutes until thickened. 

Now spoon it into your mouth, and enjoy the warm, sweet, pumpkin flavor! YUM!
