Ingredients
- 425 grams Pumpkin puree
- 100 grams Pecans
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Once cooled, pulse the pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process them into pecan butter.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
Step 4
Cook the pumpkin mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Step 5
Reduce heat to low and stir in the ground pecans, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Transfer the Pumpkin Pecan Butter to an airtight jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Serve as a spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or use it as a delicious topping for desserts.
