Combine: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin puree, apple juice, organic cane sugar, and all the warm spices. Give everything a good stir until well combined. The mixture will already start to smell like cozy pumpkin pie goodness.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the Heat: Let the mixture come to a gentle boil. As soon as it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low. This helps everything cook slowly, allowing the flavors to deepen and the texture to become rich and buttery, just as a perfect homemade pumpkin butter should be.

Simmer and Thicken: Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll notice it thickening and darkening in color. Once it reaches that smooth, spreadable consistency, remove it from the heat. Your kitchen will smell like fall!

Cool and Store in Jars: Let the pumpkin butter cool slightly, then spoon it into clean mason jars. Enjoy!
