Step 1
Start by combining the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir everything together and let it come to a gentle simmer. Keep it cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens up nicely—this usually takes about 30 minutes. Once it’s thick and fragrant, take it off the heat and let it cool down completely in the fridge before you dig in.
Why you’ll love it
This spread offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors that brighten up any breakfast or snack. It’s rich, smooth, and packed with the natural goodness of pumpkin. A great way to enjoy seasonal produce in a cozy, comforting form.
How to serve
Try spreading it on warm toast, pancakes, or muffins for a delightful treat. It also pairs wonderfully with cream cheese or yogurt. For a festive twist, add a dollop to oatmeal or swirl into your morning smoothie.
Storage & leftovers
Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze in small portions and thaw as needed. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination and keep it fresh longer.
