You’re not the only one! Chocolate has taken over my existence! Though I am not ready to take a break from it… *Smeagol voice* My precious! We wants it, we needs it! Must have the precious!

I made this and it was amazing. One tip I might offer is that I used a whole apple, that I processed with the steamed pumpkin, instead of apple juice. I suspect that the pectin in the apple helped to thicken the butter. This is amazing and I have been putting it on everything!

I have never tried this! I have actually never heard of it so apparently, I am a later bloomer than you. I have a bunch of pumpkins sitting here that i rescued from various businesses places and retailers who were tossing them out when they changed over holiday decorations. This is on my list for my Sunday cook-in. Deeelish!

I’ve heard of pumpkin butter and been v curious as I love pumpkin but never tasted it. Am sure it would go well with a mince tart – it is mainly baked goods, not just chocolate, multiplying in our place – but no complaints!

Thank you! I don’t actually ever remember having a real pork chop before, but i’m definitely not opposed to vegan ones.
Mmm Pumpkin Butter. Yes, please.
