Pumpkin Butter
Ingredients
- 3 pints of mashed pumpkin
- 1 pound of sugar
- 4 tablespoonfuls of butter
- Flavor with ginger root, nutmeg and lemon peel
Directions
Either bake or steam the pumpkin. Rub thoroughly through a sieve, mix with the sugar, butter, flavor, and let simmer on the back of the stove one hour. It becomes thick and can be kept in jars in a dark place. Use the same as fruit jelly or marmalade.
