Introduction
I'm always looking for a way to easily remember proportions for cooking. Because we grow pumpkins and winter squash every year, I make pumpkin butter and freeze it to use in pies and breads. This is a simple 3 ingredient butter made from fresh pumpkin puree. I'm always looking for a way to easily remember proportions for cooking.

Ingredients
-
3 cups of fresh pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Tips
Butternut squash makes delicious pumpkin butter. If you are using pumpkin, use a sweet pumpkin rather than the classic jack o'lantern pumpkins.
Directions
This recipe calls for fresh pumpkin. I cut open the pumpkin, remove all the seeds and stringy material, cut it up in even sized chunks and place them in a pot with water. I boil the pumpkin on medium heat until the pumpkin is soft. I drain the water from the pumpkin and let the pumpkin cool to the touch.
Use a spoon to scrape the insides of the pumpkin from the shell. I use a cuisinart with a blade to puree the pumpkin.
In a stew pot, combine 3 cups of puree with 1 cup sugar and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Cook the mixture on low-medium heat until it thickens up, about a half an hour.
This recipe makes enough for 2 pies. Note: I only have to add eggs and evaporated milk to make a filling.
Serving Size: Makes enough for 2 pies
