Homemade pumpkin butter is no match for the store bought brand.  Unlike what the name suggests, fruits butters contain no butter at all.  It is actually a puree that is cooked with sugar and spices until it has reduced and become thick.  Pumpkin puree is perfect with your morning toast, delicious as a pie filling, or mixed with cream cheese to make frosting.
