Pumpkin Butter Uses

So what are some uses for pumpkin butter? Uh...literally on EVERYTHING. But really, there are so many uses for pumpkin butter. Try it spread onto warm toast in the morning, or stirred into your coffee with a little milk. Swirl it into your breakfast yogurt or oatmeal or use as a topping on breakfast bread, pancakes, waffles, and muffins.

Tips & Tricks

• When I say "simmer" I really mean "this is going to bubble like the mudflats of Yellowstone." Pumpkin butter starts thick and only gets thicker as you "simmer" it.
• Fresh nutmeg is a game-changer. Get a little hand grater and whole nutmeg. You'll never go back.
