Homemade Pumpkin Butter

Fall is around the corner, and this is one of my favorite pumpkin recipes, it goes great on toast, bread or muffins, and it also makes a wonderful hostess gift for late Summer/early Fall get togethers and brunches. The flavors are absolutely amazing, and it’s easy to make too! Enjoy!
