Pumpkin Butter from HydroHarvestFarms.com Choose your Sugar Pie Pumpkin. This is a small Pumpkin that is very sweet and has a lot of flesh. To make the puree: Cut your pie pumpkin in half starting at the stem and around. Remove the seeds and stringy inside. Place the halves on a cookie sheet and place in 325 oven for about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool. Scoop the flesh out with an ice cream scooper or something similar. Place flesh in a large stainless cook pot for further cooking. One pumpkin should yield about 3 cups of puree. Making the Pumpkin Butter
For every 3 cup pumpkin puree add: 1 1/2 cup white sugar 1 Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Seasoning
Add the above ingredients to the pot of pureed pumpkin and heat on low, stirring
occasionally. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile fill your canner with water and place the rack inside; bring to a boil.
Fill the clean jars to 1/4 inch from the top with the hot pumpkin mixture. Then
tamp the jar on the countertop several times to try to work out the bubbles.
Place clean bands and lids on the jars and tighten.
