Sweet & Savory Ingredients
Pumpkin – Look for puree instead of pie filling, which has added sugar and seasonings. Use leftover pumpkin puree from pies or make your own from fresh pumpkin.
Sweetener – This recipe is sugar-free, but you could add white or brown sugar instead of the sweetener. Refer to the package label for the sweetener you are using. Low-carb and sugar-free maple syrup are also excellent switches that add even more depth of flavor!
Seasonings – Apple cider vinegar provides balance to the sweetener and shouldn’t be omitted. Buy pumpkin pie spice or make your own and adjust the individual ingredients to your liking.
Variations – Add finely chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or coconut to pumpkin butter for a little crunch.
