Ingredients

  • 4 cups of pumpkin approximately 2 15 ounce cans, or use your own pumpkin purée
  • 1 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey sugar works, too, but we are reducing our sugar intake
  • 2 t cinnamon
  • 1 t ground ginger
  • 1/2 t nutmeg
  • 1 t vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  1. Mix together pumpkin purée, maple syrup (or other sweetener), and vanilla (if you are using it) in the crock-pot.
  2. Cover, and cook on high for 4 hours or overnight on low for 8 hours.
  3. In the last hour of cooking, add the cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, and crack the lid to let moisture out if you want a thicker consistency.
  4. Cool and store in jars at the bottom of your fridge.
