Amish Pumpkin Butter?

Recommended Posts

I was thrilled when I found this at my local farmers market, because the ingredient did NOT include sugar, and I have been looking for something to supplement my never-enough carbs and have post-workout.

 

The ingredient list is: Pumpkin, lemon juice, spices, and citric acid. But the nutritional data on the jar reports 6 grams of sugar in 1 tbsp. Pumpkin apparently has 2 grams in a cup, and lemon juice has 6 grams in a cup.

I bet it is cooked down to concentrate the natural sugars, otherwise is would be thicker like canned pumpkin, right?! I wonder if you could make something like that...canned pumpkin, water, lemon juice boil and simmer......hmmmmm. It's got me thinking.

What do you do with it? 

My husband and I used it on pork tenderloin this week.

We chopped up two pears, added a few tablespoons of pumpkin butter in a small pan, and cooked for 4-5 minutes.  It made an amazing topping for the sliced pork tenderloin on our plates.
