Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Serving Size 2 jars

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to saucepan (pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, orange juice, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt) and bring to gentle boil over medium heat.
  • Turn to medium-low, cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often. You'll know it's done when the pumpkin gets richer in colour, thickens slightly, glides cleanly off a spoon, but is still spreadable.
  • Cool in saucepan, then transfer to jars.

Notes

  • Be sure to use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Store jars in refrigerator up to 2 weeks or freezer up to 3 months.
