It is fall! Pumpkins are everywhere! On our doorsteps, decorating our house, and in our food! Everywhere you look, there is pumpkin spiced this and pumpkin flavored that. The other day I was gifted a jar of pumpkin butter from Trader Joe's. I have always wanted to try pumpkin butter, simply because it sounds divine!

When I think of pumpkin butter, I imagine it to have this wonderful pumpkin flavor enhanced by simple spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. When I took a taste of this pumpkin butter, it tasted like pumpkin pie filling. The spices were there, but so was the SUGAR! Holy moly, it was sweet.

I knew I had to recreate pumpkin butter on my own terms. I wanted a pumpkin butter that is slightly sweet and spicy and it has to taste like pumpkin! And to top it all off, it had to be fermented. I mean, come on, this is Oh Lardy after all!

Making your own homemade pumpkin butter couldn't be easier. Throw everything in a pot, stir it all together, and cook it for a little bit. My plans for this pumpkin butter (besides eating it with a spoon) is to put it in oatmeal and spread it on cream cheese toast!
