HOMEMADE PUMPKIN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut the pumpkin in half, stem to base. Scrape out seeds and pulp. Reserve seeds to make baked seeds, if desired.
• Place halves on a rimmed baking sheet. Sit halves meat side up (cut a small slice out on the bottom of each to allow them to sit evenly without rolling).Cover each half with aluminum foil. Bake for 60 minutes, or until pumpkin meat is fork tender.
• Scrape pumpkin meat from shell halves and puree in a blender or food processor. Remove any remaining stringy pieces or seeds. If it is super thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
• Place the pumpkin puree (about 3 1/2 cups), sugar, apple juice, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice in a heavy bottom sauce pan. Heat over medium-low until lightly simmering.
• Stir well and reduce heat to low. Continue to stir and simmer for 40-60 minutes. This greatly depends on the water content of your pumpkin puree, so watch carefully to make sure it doesn't get too thick or scald. Canned pumpkin will need less time than fresh pumpkin puree.
• Mixture will have some texture, place in a food processor to make it smooth, if desired. It should be thick and spreadable, but not too watery.

COMPOUND BUTTER: HOW TO MAKE HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Allow butter to come to room temperature so that it is very soft.
• Add the butter to a bowl with all of the other ingredients.
• Mix together all of the ingredients until the herbs are well dispersed in the butter.
• If you are short on time, and don't have fully softened butter, you can use a food processor to help mix the butter with the herbs. The blades of the food processor will help break up the butter enough to incorporate all of the herbs.
• Scoop the herb butter onto the center of a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
• Roll up the paper or plastic, forming the butter into a log shape. Roll up the ends of the paper like a wrapped candy.
• Place the log of herb butter into the fridge or freezer until the butter has firmed up again.
• Unroll the butter and slice it into disks to use on your meats or to serve for spreading on bread.

PUMPKIN SPICE BUTTER

Steps:

• Add softened butter, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt to a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until everything is smooth, creamy, and well combined. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
• Whisk together the pumpkin puree and honey in a separate small bowl.
• Add the combined pumpkin/honey to the whipped butter bowl in several increments, beating well after each addition. Once all of the pumpkin/honey has been added, continue to beat the pumpkin spice butter on medium speed for several minutes, or until the butter is well whipped and creamy. Adjust salt and spices to taste.
• Pipe butter into a jar (or simply spoon it) or form a log or several mini logs by rolling the butter into a cylinder within a sheet(s) of parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for several months.
