Pumpkin Butter, A Year Wiser

OK, so I totally found the indescribable deliciousness that is pumpkin butter last fall.  I made batches to keep and batches to give away.  This year I am giving none away.  Beautiful green mint jelly with red bows will be Christmas giveaways, but the pumpkin butter is mine.  ALL MINE!

Last year I tried a couple of different recipes.  Now I know that this one is my favorite, hands down.  No other recipes need be tried.  I made several batches this fall, and here are some photos from the last batch.

Getting ready to de-seed the pumpkins

Pumpkins and seeds ready for the oven

Nice and shriveled, ready to puree

Boiling pumpkin butter makes a pretty big mess, the splatter shield helps a little

The finished product, quite messy!

Cooling on the counter before going in the freezer (well, not the seeds)
