Instructions
It really couldn't be any simpler to make this pumpkin butter. Start by soaking the dates in warm water to make them easier to process. Then combine all ingredients in a food processor until smooth and creamy. It's that easy!
Remove pits from dates and soak in hot water for 10-15 minutes to soften. Drain water after soak.
Add dates, pumpkin puree and salt to bowl of food processor and blend until dates have broken down and mixture is smooth. Stop to scrape mixture down as it has a tendency to creep up the bowl.
Add pumpkin pie spice and blend to fully incorporate.
Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
Equipment
You will need a food processor or a high powered blender to make this butter.
