Pumpkin Butter!!

It's Pumpkin Season, aka autumn.  That means we have to make pumpkin flavored everything!!
I've previously made apple butter, which is easy, but takes a long time, but now I'll show you how to make Pumpkin butter!!  It doesn't take nearly as long.

You will need,
2 cans pureed pumpkin
3/4 c water
1 c brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground clove, nutmeg, allspice
dash of kosher salt

In a saucepan over med heat combine all the ingredients.  Bring to a barely-boil and reduce the heat to low low lowwww.  Let cook for about 2 hours.  You want all the water to evaporate and everything else to thicken.  Stir it every 10-20 minutes (even more often near the end), you don't want it to scald.  The bubbles can be like magma, so be careful.
Let cool, and refrigerate for up to a month!
You can put it in yogurt, in oatmeal, in overnight oats, on toast, a sammich, or maybe even spread it on an english muffin!!
Cheers!
