Instructions: I picked up _Light Muffins_ by Beatrice Ojakangas at the library the other day... and it has a recipe for pumpkin butter (Ive only scanned the book... no review yet

Combine all in a glass bowl (for microwave) or nonreactive saucepan (for stovetop). Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stirring twice, or, on stovetop over medium-high heat, stir until boiling and continue to boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool. Store, refrigerated, for 4 to 6 weeks.

Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

In a note above the recipe, she says she likes to spread whole-grain muffins with nonfat or lowfat cream cheese and then top them with pumpkin butter - the combo tastes like pumpkin pie.
