Fantastic! And super easy too! After looking at the $10.95 price tag at William Sonoma I said to myself "I could make that!" and surprising I actually did this time. This recipe is easy and straightforward. I halved it and it still turned out. The only change I made was to add a little bit of ground cloves with the pumpkin spice. I am making a full batch again tonight.

Have made several batches of this pumpkin butter recipe. It is good with pecans, but superb without the pecans. Depending on the type of fresh pumpkin we use, we reduce the sugar down to 3 cups (using half white and half brown sugar), add a pinch of orange peel and ground cloves. (This makes a really, really good pumpkin butter pie.) Also, if you are looking for the BEST pork glaze, make a batch without pecans and add a tablespoon of cloves. You won't regret it.

I work as a professional stagehand for my local union (IATSE Local 26, West Michigan Stagehands), which takes me all over the state and lets me meet all sorts of interesting people. My primary training is in lighting and wardrobe, and I can be found backstage at everything from rock concerts to opera/ballet/symphony/Broadway tour performances to hockey games to corporate meetings and Presidential appearances. In June of 2005, my Local elected me to serve as a delegate to our International convention in mid-July, which was held in Honolulu. In November of 2008, I was elected to my third three-year term as Recording Secretary of my union local. Currently, I am the news poster for www.megatechnews, a computer tech site affiliated with several other tech sites.
My biggest passion is union activism. The more I get involved, the more I want to be involved. I also read like a fiend and enjoy "discovering" local or regional bands at local clubs.
Recently, I started making jewelry again after a more than ten-year hiatus. It started as a project for Christmas presents, but doing it reminded me how much I enjoy it, so I may be resurrecting my business soon. I never duplicate a piece, because the entire point is that I do custom work, and will take orders to suit. The pieces I have done are in a photo album on Facebook located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21364&id=1373365950&l=5be410742d
