This is the easiest and most delicious slow cooker pumpkin butter you will ever make. Normally pumpkin butters are packed with added sugars and preservatives. However, with this recipe the only added sugar is comes from the apple cider and thats IT (see below!)

Equipment

4qt Slow Cooker

Ingredients

1 can pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie

1 cup sugar of choice

I have tried this recipe with coconut sugar, regular cane sugar and granulated monk fruit sweetener.

Coconut Sugar- gives it less of a pumpkin taste and color, more of a caramel hint

Cane Sugar- tastes great, but if you are wanting less sugar and same taste the monk fruit sweetener is a perfect choice

Monk Fruit Sweetener- makes this recipe no added sugar except what is in the apple cider, same great taste as above

1 cup apple cider
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

In 4 qt crock pot add in 1 can of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of apple cider, 1 cup of sugar of choice, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice and 1/4 tsp salt.
Stir the ingredients until fully incorporated
Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours. Stir every half an hour to an hour. So about 3 to 4 stirs as it cooks.
After the 2 1/2 hours is up let it cool for an hour. Then place in air tight mason jars, like their jam jars I linked here! Then store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
