Whether you've just cooked up a batch of homemade pumpkin butter or you recently grabbed a jar at your local fall festival, chances are, you're going to find yourself with a container of the spiced pumpkin condiment at some point this season. Now, the biggest rookie mistake when it comes to pumpkin butter consumption is thinking that the only uses for pumpkin butter are spreading it over toast or biscuits; this couldn't be further from the truth. Pumpkin butter is a delicious addition to any number of cozy recipes — both sweet and savory. Here are five ways to use pumpkin butter to help get you started in unlocking the full potential of pumpkin butter.
