I still remember when we made apple butter in our Kindergarten class when I was a little kid growing up in West Virginia. We took turns all day stirring the pot and we each got to take home a little mason jar. I can still smell the spicy apples cooking!
I’ve turned my daughters on to apple butter too — it’s one of our breakfast staples!

Is Pumpkin Butter Safe to Can?
While apple butter is acidic enough to safely home can, pumpkin butter is not. In addition, pumpkin puree is quite dense, making it harder to get hot enough to get to the correct temperature inside the jars.
For this recipe, you are welcome to store your finished apple pumpkin butter in mason jars. However, they should be kept refrigerated. This spread should last 2-4 weeks in the fridge.
