Such an easy change of pace. Made as written and served on oatmeal bread yam. Liked the use and flavor of molasses in this recipe. We did find it just a bit sweet, next time may try cutting the honey in half. Use for gift giving??? Thanks so much for the post.

Very nice spread. On the sweet side, I used a bit less honey than called for, will probably cut back a bit more next time, just per my preference. Loved the molasses flavor. Quick and easy, will make again!

What a winner of a recipe you have here CB!! The addition of the molasses takes this pumpkin butter above all other recipes out there! I just wanted to eat it right off the spoon after cooking! Can't wait to serve it on pancakes in the morning but I swear I could eat this like applesauce I love the flavors so much! Made for Sweet Traditions tag event in the Cooking Games with Friends forum! Woohoo - I'm one lucky gal for tagging this recipe!

AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT SPREAD! We really enjoyed the use of molasses in this keeper of a recipe, & I now have it in my gifts for the holidays cookbook! Many thanks! [Taggd, made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hit Wonders]

Ditto everything LonghornMama said! Very easy and the molasses really adds to the flavor. I have always used brown sugar, but this is MUCH better! I am looking forward to trying it on French Toast! UPDATE: Tried this on French toast made with Anme's Recipe #250385, and it was delicious!
