Ingredient list.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: In a saucepan, combine the Libby’s pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2: Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture to combine the ingredients. Allow the mixture to cook around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to simmer gently.
Step 3: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.
Step 4: Keep an eye on the pumpkin mixture, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. You’ll notice it thickening and becoming more luscious as it cooks. Once the pumpkin butter has reached a spreadable consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Transfer it to clean, airtight jars, and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Pumpkin butter can also be frozen for longer storage.
Homemade pumpkin butter is more than just a spread – it’s a jar full of autumnal memories waiting to be savored. Imagine dipping your spoon into a velvety blend of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree, brown sugar, and aromatic spices.

As you cook the mixture on the stovetop, your home becomes a sanctuary of seasonal delight. You’ll watch as the pumpkin puree transforms into a rich and luscious butter, thickening and deepening in color. Each stir is a rhythmic dance of flavors, ensuring that every spoonful holds the essence of autumn’s finest.
Whether you choose to spread it on warm toast, swirl it into your morning oatmeal, or use it as a decadent filling for pastries, your homemade pumpkin butter will elevate every bite with its enchanting blend of sweetness and spice. And the best part? You’ll know that every jar was lovingly crafted by your hands, adding a touch of homemade magic to your fall festivities.
Recipe Notes:
- Flavor Play: Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste. Add more cinnamon for warmth, more nutmeg for earthiness, or more cloves for extra spice.
- Customized Sweetness: The amount of brown sugar can be tailored to your preference. Begin with the recommended quantity and adjust as needed.
- Texture Control: For a chunkier pumpkin butter, you can skip the blending step and simply use a fork to mash any larger pieces.
- Extended Storage: If you’d like to enjoy your pumpkin butter beyond two weeks, consider canning it using proper canning techniques.
- Beyond the Basics: Get creative with add-ins like a touch of maple syrup, a hint of ginger, or even a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra burst of flavor.
