| Comments: This recipe came about as a happy "accident" when I was making pumpkin butter. I had only enough pumpkin for half a recipe of pumpkin butter, and I had some cooked fresh carrots with a wonderful orange color. For some reason, I decided to try combining the two, and the combination has become a family favorite. |
Ingredients:  1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin (not canned!) 1 1/2 cups cooked carrots, coarsly mashed 2 cups granulated sugar* (see note) 1/2 teaspoon oil of cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon oil of cloves 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice You will need: 5-6 half-pint glass canning jars and lids *Note: Brown sugar may be substituted for the granulated sugar in this recipe for a darker "butter". |
| Instructions: Combine all ingredients in 3-quart enamel pan and stir well. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered, 30 minutes until mixture is thickened. Ladle into half-pint jars, wipe jar rims, and attach lids. Process in boiling water bath 15 minutes. Invert onto towel 5 minues, then set upright to cool. You should hear the lids pop when vacuum seals. Yield: About 2 1/2 pints. |

Tastes good but this recipe should be frozen. USDA/National Center for Home food Preservation says pumpkin butter is not a product that can be safely canned at home. They have been saying this for years. Pumpkin can only be canned in chunks.
