Pumpkin Butter Recipe - This crockpot pumpkin butter is super easy to make in a slow cooker with canned pumpkin and spices. Plus, it also makes a yummy gift hostess gift for the holidays! 

Now that fall is in full swing, you don't have to look far to find great recipes featuring pumpkin— It seems to be the main ingredient of the season!

I'm a huge pumpkin fan myself and relish the opportunity to stuff my face with whatever pumpkin goodies I can get my hands on. This year, my go-to recipe has been Crockpot Pumpkin Butter.

Pumpkin Butter Recipe

My mother was the one who introduced me to pumpkin butter when I was a kid. Every year we used to go to Pennsylvania to visit my grandparents and we always made a stop at the Amish market. It was there that we stocked up on homemade jars of butter, which often included apple, pumpkin and other seasonal fruits.

The interesting thing about pumpkin butter, or any fruit butter for that matter, is that there isn't any actual butter in the ingredients. I'm sure the name is because of the consistency and the way it spreads. And, similar to regular butter, we'd use it on toast, scones and English muffins... though there are dozens of other ways to use it (it tastes amazing in plain yogurt and on top of pancakes!).

Now it's been a long time since I've been to a traditional Amish market, but my love for pumpkin butter has remained. I looked high and low for an easy pumpkin butter recipe, and once again it was my mom who pointed me in the right direction. Not only did she have a fantastic pumpkin butter recipe for me, but it was made entirely in the slow cooker with canned pumpkin!

I personally love canned pumpkin because of how easy it is to use— and I always buy a few extra cans to have once the season is over so I can enjoy my favorite pumpkin recipes all year long (seriously, have you ever tried to find canned pumpkin in July!?).

Pumpkin Butter Ingredients:

  • 2- 15 oz cans pumpkin
  • 2/3 cup apple juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • pinch of salt

3. Turn off slow cooker and allow to cool. Transfer to jars and refrigerate.

The great thing about this recipe is that it makes a wonderful, ready to eat gift! It's easy to make a batch of slow cooker pumpkin butter for Thanksgiving to hand out to each of your guests. Simply keep refrigerated until ready to give— your recipients will also need to place in the refrigerator once they get home. The pumpkin butter should be consumed within 1-2 weeks.

    Do these have to go through the canning process?
    Can you freeze this?
