Homemade Pumpkin Butter Healthy for Christmas

Homemade Pumpkin Butter Healthy for Christmas
Ingredients

3 cups pumpkin puree homemade
1/2 cup Pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 tablespoons lemon zest finely grated
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch Sea salt
2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Ginger freshly grated
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

Put all ingredients, except for vanilla in a medium pot. Simmer, covered for 25-30 minutes. Every 5 minutes, open the lid and gently mix. Be careful, as the mixture is likely to be bubbling. The butter is cooked when it reduces in size and the mixture becomes homogenous. Add apple juice, if the mixture gets too thick and starts to burn. Allow it to cool. Mix in vanilla, then transfer to a clean jar. Store in the fridge.
