Pumpkin Butter

Pumpkin Butter
Yesterday I started the Pumpkin Butter and today it is done. I will put some in jars as gifts, some will go in the freezer and for this morning I made oatmeal for breakfast and added Pumpkin Butter to it. It is very good and I wished I had known about this dish before. None the less it will become a staple at our home.
Pumpkin is very good for you too it has all kinds of antioxidants and wonderful stuff for your eyesight and loads of potassium.

I made quite a bit of this so I have to round up some canning jars and start to work.
