My husband is a big fan of Apple Butter.  Me, not so much, but it’s good now and then.  When I saw this recipe I knew I had to put it on here!!  It sounds very interesting and I’m going to have to try it….Anyone out there made this before??  Is it good??  Let me know!!

Pumpkin Butter

1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 box ( 1 3/4 oz.) powdered fruit pectin
