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.
