Description
Like pumpkin pie in a jar (but better), this easy homemade pumpkin jam is bound to be your new fall essential. It's creamy, delicious and packed with seasonal flavors. This pumpkin jam is perfect on toast, yogurt, muffins, waffles, oatmeal and so much more!
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice blend
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large pot over medium heat and whisk well until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes. Whisk often while cooking, making sure to scrape down the sides of the pot as it cooks down.
- Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes before transferring to a sealed container to refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
Notes
Chill before eating: In order for your pumpkin jam to thicken up and absorb all of those fall flavors, we recommend chilling in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours (or even overnight if you're patient enough).
Storage: This pumpkin jam stores perfectly in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to three weeks. If you want it to last even longer, keep it in the freezer for 4-6 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator before using.
Pumpkin pie spice: If you can't find any in stores, you can easily make your own. Just whisk together 2 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1-2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½-1 teaspoon ground cloves and an optional ½ teaspoon allspice.
Pumpkin: We used canned pumpkin purée in this recipe. Make sure to buy pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie mix (pumpkin purée is pure pumpkin without additives whereas pumpkin pie mix typically contains spices and sweeteners).
