    William's Sonoma Pecan Pumpkin Butter

    October 8, 2013 by burntapple 1 Comment

    I love Williams Sonoma. Looking. The other day they had some pecan pumpkin butter samples and I was sold! I came home and had to start trying to make it. If you're looking for a delicious and festive way to add some fall flavor to your breakfast or dessert routine, you have to try this Williams Sonoma's Pecan Pumpkin Butter recipe. This sweet and spiced spread is a perfect complement to toast, muffins, pancakes, and more, and its nutty undertones make it stand out from other pumpkin butters you may have tried. Ooh and try this pumpkin caramel sauce very soon.

    If you're looking to mix things up, there are also plenty of variations and adaptations you can try with this recipe.

    This pecan pumpkin butter can be used in a lot of different ways. You can slather it on toast, swirl it into your oatmeal, use it on pumpkin bread, on waffles or pancakes! We strongly also suggest trying our pecan pumpkin butter cake!

    What Makes This Recipe Different From Pumpkin Butter?

    So what makes Williams Sonoma's Pecan Pumpkin Butter recipe stand out from other pumpkin butter recipes out there? Most recipes don't include pecans. The pecans add a delicious nutty flavor to the spread. The spices used in the recipe - cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves also compliment the recipe.

    It's Also About the Sugar!

    Another thing that sets this recipe apart is the use of both granulated sugar and brown sugar. The brown sugar adds a deeper, more complex sweetness to the spread. The granulated sugar helps to thicken it up and give it a smooth texture.
