Delectable sweetness happens when you take plain old pumpkin and turn it into this spiced pumpkin butter, enhanced with warm fall spices and a splash of maple syrup. You don't need any butter to make Pumpkin Butter, it's like Apple Butter only with Pumpkin! If using real pumpkin or butternut squash, roast the pumpkin pieces to concentrate the flavor. Simply cut your pumpkin into large hand size pieces, scrape away seeds but leave the skin on. Place pumpkin pieces, skin side down into an oven dish, prick flesh with a fork and roast/bake at 375°F until flesh is tender, about 45 minutes. Let pieces cool, then scrape the flesh from the skin to purée down in a food processor until smooth.
