What are some good ways to enjoy this low salt autumn treat?
Well, pumpkin butter is delicious on a toasted English Muffin. Thomas’s multigrain English muffins are tasty and relatively low in salt. You could smear it on toast using Angelic Bakehouse Low Sodium Bread.
Personally, I really like swirling some Pumpkin Butter in my oatmeal. Remember, don’t use the instant oatmeal that comes in a packet. Those packets have added salt, along with a lot of added sugar. You could also add a dollop into your morning yogurt.
A little goes a long way when you want to add a little spiced sweetness to anything you’re eating.
Is Pumpkin Butter made of butter?
Nope, there is no butter in Pumpkin Butter. In fact, fruit butter contains no dairy. Pumpkin butter is essentially pumpkin puree that has been combined with a variety of ingredients — in this case honey and molasses for sweetness and cinnamon for flavor — and then simmered and reduced until thick and creamy.
Now as you read this recipe, you might be skeptical about the lemon. Trust me, it makes the taste so bright. Sometimes I like to add a teaspoon of vanilla to the recipe. You’ll find this recipe to be easy, quick, and so full of warm comforting fall flavor.
