Delicious! I've tried other pumpkin butter recipes, but this is my favorite. Easy, too. Love it on a bagel with cream cheese.

    This was very nice, especially on pumpkin french toast! Next time, though, i would probably add more sugar for a sweeter spread.

    Very tasty spread! I didn't have any lemons so I used two tablespoons of concentrated frozen orange juice, and added lemon extract, and that did the trick. And, I didn't stand by the stove and stir it for 45 minutes, only 10 and that was enough. The mixture was very thick to start with.

    Very tasty spread! I made a half recipe and really enjoyed it. Sweet, but not too sweet. It's like spreading pumpkin pie on your toast.
