I love pumpkin... pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin bread pudding, pumpkin ice cream, pies, and more pies, pumpkin muffins... you get the idea... anyway as much as I love pumpkin I had never tasted pumpkin butter until today. OH SO GOOD! I wonder though when I make things if they taste the way they were meant to taste? Eh doesn't matter this is yummy. I had it in crepes and on pumpkin bread and oatmeal toast today.
Put the pumpkin back into the crock pot, add the spices, honey and sugar to taste. If you feel like it add some more juice...
