Pumpkin Butter - Easy Recipe

 

It is hard to believe it is the middle of September already and pumpkin items are in the stores!

During the pandemic, I purchased a case of pumpkin puree and am trying to use it up. Today, I came across a simple recipe for pumpkin butter using pumpkin puree. 

This recipe makes your house smell wonderful too!

I can't wait to add the pumpkin butter to my plain Greek yogurt for that "fall feeling!"

The recipe is simple and includes the following:

1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 Tablespoon honey

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg

Stir all the ingredients together in a small saucepan and cook for 10 minutes at medium heat stirring constantly. Pour the hot pumpkin butter into a glass container, let it cool, and place the lid on top. 

Store the pumpkin butter in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin butter is a great substitute for preserves or apple butter!

Easy Strawberry Salad Dressing

I found a recipe on the internet for an easy strawberry salad dressing and will take photos as soon as I serve it.
The photograph below is double the recipe.

The dressing tastes delicious. It has more oil in it than I would normally use and I will eventually find a nondairy substitute for some of the oil, but for now, I will use it sparingly.

Here are the ingredients

4 large fresh strawberries cut up
2 T white vinegar
2 T honey
1/3 cup canola or other mild tasting oil

Mix the above in a blender until it is a smooth pink. I immediately doubled the recipe once I tasted it.

Enjoy!
