Pumpkin Butter

         Dear Dan,

I love pumpkin butter on my toast & biscuits. However I have not found a recipe to make it. Can you help?

Hi Norma,

Since processing pumpkin butter is not recommended as safe by home economists, I found a recipe that only requires refrigeration. Hope you enjoy it!

Pumpkin Butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Stir until well blended, cover and chill until ready to use. Refrigerate for up to three days.
