It's a pumpkin spread that contains no butter.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Is pumpkin butter just butter with pumpkin mushed in?
Like apple butter, it has no butter.
She figures anything you're doing with is A-OK.

Yeah, apple butter is a new one on me, too.
Pumpkin puree! Boy wanted a pumpkin pie for Halloween, and I was going to make one, but he said that I really need tins of pumpkin puree to make it properly. Alas, such a thing does not exist over here.

Because books.
Apple butter is the food of the gods. I've never had pumpkin butter, but I'm willing to expand my horizons.

Jars, my sister makes pumpkin pie out of fresh pumpkin. I'd bet a quick Google would come up with tips on how to make it really good. Sis works wacky hours or I would call and ask.

Pretty sure fresh pumpkin isn't exactly abundant near Jars either. Though maybe I'm just assuming things.

What they said. Though that doesn't sound half bad itself.

And come to think of it, an old college roommate grew up on her grandparents' farm, and she told me that they never bothered to label the canned/frozen pumpkin or the squash they put up from their garden. Even though there was a risk of eating pumpkin for a vegetable, and having a squash pie, she said it all came out as good.

No, I'm pretty sure I could make a decent pumpkin pie with fresh pumpkin, and I probably will. I usually make Thai pumpkin soup or pumpkin curry, but I'll try a pie this year. I think Boy just really wants the kind he's used to having, which isn't going to happen. I'll just have to make the best approximation of pumkin puree I can muster. Recipes would be much appreciated.

My Aunt switched to fresh pumpkin for her pies. She insists its not that much work and they do taste sooooooooooo much better.

For all my non-cooking-ness, I have made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin and it was absolutely delish.
If I can do it...ANYONE can do it.
