Equipment

6 quart Slow Cooker or Crockpot
Spatula
2 Air tight jar with lid

Ingredients

2 15oz Pure pumpkin not pie filling
1 cup sugar free granulated sweetener erythritol, monk fruit or combination
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Add pumpkin puree to the crock of a slow cooker. Follow with adding in the granulated sweetener, water and vanilla extract and spice blend to your slow cooker. Stir everything well to combine.
Set your crockpot to LOW and set a timer for 1 hour.
Once the time is up, give it a good stir and cook on LOW an additional 2 hours with the lid vented. The easiest way to do this is to place a wooden spoon halfway sticking out of the top of the crockpot with the lid holding in place.
After it has completed the last 2 hours of simmer time, give it a taste. Adjust the sweetness and seasoning to your liking by adding more spice or sweetener.
Now it is time to transfer to a mason jar. I was able to fill two pint jars with the entire recipe with a little extra leftover for a few spoonfuls!
It will keep in the fridge up to 10 days or in the freezer up to 6 months.
I would recommend if freezing, put into smaller jars and leave a good headspace, not filling above the jar lid threads.

If you simply do not have a crockpot available, you can cook your sugar free pumpkin butter on the stovetop. Turn it to medium-high heat and bring the pumpkin butter to a simmer. Turn down to medium low heat and set a timer for stirring every 5 minutes to prevent scorching.
It is possible to make this pumpkin butter without any added sugar at all. It will be a great pairing with savory food items this way. Add in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to help prevent browning and a pinch of salt will enhance the flavor. Consider using a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice to give it a good tangy flavor.
Substitute the water called for in the recipe with apple juice or apple cider for even more fall inspired flavor! The best part about substituting in fruit juice is that it has a natural sweetness to it that helps reduce the need for added sweetener.
Use a few tablespoons of my favorite butter in your overnight oats to add in a pumpkin pie flavor.

Can I use fresh homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned pumpkin?

Yes, absolutely! Fresh pumpkin puree can be used in place of canned pumpkin in this recipe. To prepare the puree, simply roast your pie pumpkins cut side down on a baking sheet with sides at 450F for 90 minutes. Cool then process in a food processor or blender. If it is dry add a little bit of water. If it is very watery, pour through a cloth covered sieve to drain off excess moisture. Either way, you can always let your low carb pumpkin butter simmer longer in the crockpot. It will let off steam as the pumpkin butter cooks to thicken it.

What are some creative ways to use pumpkin butter?

Pumpkin butter is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Try spreading it on toast or muffins, swirling it into oatmeal or yogurt, or using it as a filling for cookies or cakes. It also makes a delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Don't forget you can use it as a substitute in a recipe that calls for pumpkin pie filling or pumpkin puree.

Can I make pumpkin butter in an Instant Pot?

While it's possible to make pumpkin butter in an Instant Pot, the slow cooker method produces the great results like I had. If you did use the Instant pot, you would be using the SAUTE mode not the pressure mode.

Can I customize the spices in pumpkin butter?

Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste preferences. You can use cinnamon sticks for a warm, cozy flavor, or experiment adding in other warm spices like ginger, ground cloves, or nutmeg. I prefer to make my own pumpkin pie spice. I keep a jar of it in my kitchen since it is a great way to save time measuring spices that I use in all of my pumpkin recipes.

To make it, mix together in a small jar:

2 T ground cinnamon

1 T ground ginger

1 1/2 T ground allspice

1 1/2 t. ground cloves

3/4 t. ground nutmeg
