Made this again for another fall buffet. This time I added a bit of lemon zest and cut back a bit on the honey. I then mixed it with sour cream and sweetened cream cheese and piped it into choux puffs (Jessica C's recipe #66769) to make pumpkin profiteroles. Mounded them on a plate and drizzled caramel over all. Sinful little bites that are just too easy to plow through- not a one was left. Thanks Kittencal for this lovely versatile recipe.

Did as the recipe instructs and it turned out just delicious. Real tasty on my English muffins. I didn't find it too much lemon at all. I don't think I have done a recipe of yours Kittencal that I don't like. It made more than 1 cup though as you posted which is great because I don't see it lasting too long. Is it breakfast time yet? Thanks Kittencal Just made another batch now. April 20,2010 This time doubling the recipe so I could use up the whole can, so it was minus 1 oz. of pumpkin so I just used a tiny less of the honey and molasses and it turned out delicious once again. I will be bringing my parents a few small jars, I know they will love it. Let me thank you Kitten on their behalf.

OUTSTANDING SPREAD, THIS! Made it just for the 2 of us to taste-test, & it definitely passed muster, so I'll be making this again when one of my monthly groups gets hosted here! Definitely a winning recipe! Thanks for posting it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in I Recommend]

We really loved this. My fiance and I are both huge fans of pumpkin, and as much as we love pumpkin butter it's hard to find good ones at the store... so when I found this, I knew we had to try it! I made this exactly as written, except that I scaled the recipe to make 1 1/2 cups so I could use up the leftover canned pumpkin that was languishing in our fridge. With its wonderful balance of flavors, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks, KITTENCAL, for a great pumpkin butter!

This tastes better than pumpkin butter I have purchased in a jar! I wonder if you could do the same with apples or applesauce for apple butter. Hmmm...I think I will try it.
