Butternut Squash Butter

Found butternut squash at bargain prices and wanted to do a butter with it. I found only 1 recipe online and adapted it into this. Great color and flavor. Perfect spread on toast, pancakes or waffles. This recipe produced 11+ half pint jars. Because winter squashes and pumpkins are not acidic enough, the usda does not recommend canning mashed product. These store in the fridge for 2 months or the freezer for longer storage.

Steps

Place all ingredients in large , heavy bottom pot.
Heat to boiling.
Reduce heat , simmer 40-45 minutes , stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
To test if done , a dollop placed on a plate will not run after 2 minutes.
Pack into clean jars , cover and refrigerate or freeze.

Ingredients

squash puree, unsweetened apple juice concentrate, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves
