PUMPKIN JAM
This pumpkin jam, aka. pumpkin butter, is easy to make and really delicious. I only make it when sugar pumpkins are in season so I can use fresh pumpkin. Canned pumpkin is okay too. This is a jam recipe so perfect for gifts during the holidays. Use it just like jam on toast, scones, biscuits, and with cheese and crackers. If you like a little more spice, add in more cinnamon and nutmeg!

Steps:
- If using fresh pumpkin, cut in half, take out seeds, and roast until tender.
- Once cooled, puree roasted pumpkin until smooth and then add six cups to large pan over medium/high heat.
- Next add apple cider, lemon, vanilla, and spices. Mix well.
- Bring mixture to light boil and reduce heat to medium temperature Stirring often so the bottom doesn't burn.
- Place dry pectin in the 2 cups of sugar and mix.
- Add sugar/pectin to pumpkin mixture and let cook for about an hour.
- Remove from heat and fill jars to 1/4" of top. Recipe makes approximately 9 half-pint 8 oz. jars.
- Wipe rims clean and screw on 2-piece lids.
- Submerge sealed jars into hot water at 200 degrees (or boiling) for 10 minutes. You will hear a "pop" sound once jars are removed from water - that is when the lids are sealed. Let cool on your kitchen counter.
