Hi there, it\u2019s Jessie from Kitschen Cat<\/a>! I\u2019m so glad to be with you again. It’s that time of the year where everything is pumpkin flavored, the smells of apple cider and cinnamon are begging to permeate your home, and fleece blankets are in\u00a0high demand.<\/p>\n

Growing up, my dad and and I worked at an apple orchard owned by some friends of ours, and I would get so excited for the apple and pumpkin butter to be stocked on the shelves come September. Something about the thick, fruity flesh of pumpkin and apples combined with all the best fall spices makes a treat that’s just impossible to pass up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Making\u00a0Spiced Pumpkin Apple Butter in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Spiced Pumpkin Apple Butter recipe!<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/strong>: I want to be transparent in the recipe and let you know that some pressure cookers don’t recommend making spreads such as this because it bubbles and froths and\u00a0there is a chance that it could clog your valve. However, I’ve never had this problem.<\/p>\n

There is enough liquid in this recipe between the apples and hard cider that by the time you allow the butter to cook and follow with a natural release, you shouldn’t have a problem. Barbara wrote about a similar situation in this Pressure Cooker Pear Applesauce<\/a> recipe if you want further clarification.<\/p>\n

For this recipe, I start with a fruit base of pumpkin puree and peeled apples. Then, I added to the flavor with some pumpkin pie spice, sugar, honey, a pinch of salt, and a bottle of hard apple cider. If you want to leave that part out, you can just use apple juice or non-alcoholic apple cider! I like the bit of tang that it gives the butter.<\/p>\n

It makes a fairly large batch – about 3 mason jars full. I love to use it as a spread on warm bread or biscuits in the morning. It also makes a tasty topping for pancakes or waffles or even warmed up as a topping for vanilla ice cream! Since it’s not recommended to can<\/a> pumpkin butter, it has a finite refrigerator life – you should make sure to eat it in 2-3 weeks.<\/p>\n

Happy Fall — I can’t wait to hear about your pumpkin butter adventures!<\/p>\n
