Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter
  1. In your slow cooker, add canned pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, apple juice, and all the spices: ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until smoothly blended.
  2. Cover your slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4 hours or HIGH for 2 hours. Do not open the lid during cooking.
  3. About halfway through the cooking time, stir the pumpkin butter to ensure even cooking and a creamy texture.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, turn off the slow cooker and allow your pumpkin butter to cool for about 1 hour.
  5. Spoon the Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter into clean jars, allowing it to cool completely before sealing. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for up to six months.
