Pumpkin-Apple Butter
1/2 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup apple juice or cider
2 cups pureed pumpkin or other winter squash
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup natural apple sauce
1/4 cup agave nectar (or other liquid sweetener such as maple syrup)
1/4 cup sugar (or other sweetener to taste)
pinch salt (optional)
Put the raisins in a medium-sized saucepan, and pour the apple juice over them.
Heat on low until raisins plump up, adding water if they get dry. When they are
plump, puree the raisins in the juice. (You may need to add a little water to do
this; I used a hand
blender and blended the pumpkin along with the raisins.)
Return the pureed raisins to the pan and add all remaining ingredients. Cook
over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about an hour. Makes about 3 cups.
