Hey everyone, I’m Phillip. I really like pecan pie. But not the stuff made at the store sitting out on the shelf: real homemade pecan pie.

A few years ago, I needed to take a dessert to my work’s Thanksgiving buffet. I wanted to do something other than plain old pecan pie, and I found this recipe for Pecan Pie Cheesecake.

It was so amazing! I wished I had made two, because my coworkers ate this one so quickly, my family didn’t get any! I also won the prize for best dessert. I’ve since made this pumpkin pecan cheesecake each year for our family’s Thanksgiving dinner – only now, I make two of them!

But one of the best parts of the recipe is the homemade pumpkin butter – and now I use it for more than just pecan pie cheesecake. I like to put it on my toast, rolls, and even bagels all autumn long.

Homemade Pumpkin Butter Recipe

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need to make this homemade pumpkin butter:

• 1 can (15 ounces) of Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves

How to Make Homemade Pumpkin Butter

Combine the pumpkin, sugar, lemon juice, honey , cinnamon, and cloves into a medium saucepan. Make sure it’s heavy-duty!

Bring to a boil over medium/high heat, then reduce heat to low.

Cook for 20-25 minutes (or until thickened), stirring frequently.

This recipe makes 2 cups, so you may want to halve it for the cheesecake, or just save the leftovers for your toast, bagels, or rolls.
