Categories     Pumpkin

Time 20h15m

Yield 6 12 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

64 ounces unsweetened applesauce
1 lb fresh pumpkin puree
1/2 tablespoon sweetleaf stevia (Be sure to check the sugar equivalency charts of your stevia brand. 1/2 T of this brand is equal to )
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon (unless your applesauce was spiced)
1/2 teaspoon maple extract

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a large crockpot, stirring to combine.
  • Set crockpot to LOW and crack the lid to let the water evaporate out. Let it cook. The idea is to cook out most of the liquid so it thickens.
  • After several hours (I left mine overnight), check it, stir it, taste it, adjust.
  • If it is still holding liquid, cook it longer, stirring, checking, tasting, and adjusting occasionally.
  • When it seems thickened to your preference ("spreadable" maybe), spoon it into containers for the fridge, or prepare to can and preserve...continuing to the next step --.
  • Bring a large canner pot to a boil and add sterilized jars.
  • Bring one jar and a 2 piece lid out of the hot water. Fill jars to ½" of top. With a chopstick or similar utensil, stir and move the butter around in the jar, removing air pockets and bubbles. Then, tap the bottom of the jar firmly (but don't break it for gosh sakes!) on a towel on the countertop a few times to tamp down the butter.
  • Wipe any gunk off the rim and screw on 2-piece lid until finger tight. Place jar in water and repeat until the butter fills the last jar. Leftover butter can be put in a jar and into the fridge. Try to do these steps swiftly.
  • Cover the canner, bring water back to a boil, and process jars for 30 minutes. Remove from water carefully, and let cool.
  • You may hear popping as the jars cool. Leave them be! Don't shake or jostle them for 24 hours. After that, check seals- lids should be sucked down. Any jars that didn't seal can be refrigerated.

CROCKPOT APPLE PUMPKIN BUTTER RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Crockpot Apple Pumpkin Butter Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by KeeleyMcGuireBlog

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 Medium Apples (I use Fuji Apples but Granny Smiths are good too)
1 Can (15oz) of Pumpkin Puree (Like Libby's Pure Pumpkin - do NOT use Pumpkin Pie Filling)
1/4 Cup of Brown Sugar *see note in post
1 Tablespoon of Ground Cinnamon
2 Teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice Seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon of All Spice Seasoning
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Steps:

  • Peel, core, and chop apples into small pieces. Spray slow cooker pot with cooking spray. Put chopped apples into crock pot with all the remaining ingredients. Stir until well combined and the apples are coated. Cook on low for six hours. Stir during the cooking time. If you notice the butter burning on the edges, add up to 1/2 cup of water, but only adding 1/4 cup at a time, as needed. Smooth the butter out with a potato masher, but if you want it completely smooth, you can run it through a blender or just let it cook down longer than 6 hrs.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful apples and pumpkin. This will ensure that your apple pumpkin butter has the best possible flavor.
  • Peel and core the apples, but leave the skin on the pumpkin. This will give the pumpkin butter a more rustic texture.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the pumpkin butter. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves are all classic choices, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as cardamom, allspice, or even chili powder.
  • Cook the apple pumpkin butter on low heat for several hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the butter to thicken.
  • Stir the apple pumpkin butter occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Use a blender or food processor to puree the apple pumpkin butter until it is smooth.
  • Store the apple pumpkin butter in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Apple pumpkin butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast or crackers, used as a filling for pies and tarts, or even added to yogurt or oatmeal. It is also a great gift for friends and family.
