Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter, 10 Ounce

This spread doesn't actually contain butter, but it does have a distinctively rich, butter-like consistency -- partially attributable to its fruit pulp to sugar ratio, which is higher than that of jam or preserves.

Pumpkin puree is cooked slowly, in small batches, with sugar and spices, so the spices have plenty of time to marry with the pumpkin.

This Pumpkin Butter is smooth and light with opulent flavor and mouth feel. In fact, it tastes much like pumpkin pie, though there are no eggs or cream in this spread, and thus no fat. Shocking, really, once you've tasted it.

How should you use Pumpkin Butter? Spread it on toast, waffles, pancakes, English muffin or biscuit for breakfast. Use as a filling for crepes. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, these are just a few ideas to get you going.
