Daily Preserves: Cookie Mag's Pumpkin Butter

Pumpkin butter, sweet and spicy - it's good on bread, scones, and crackers. We really liked this Pumpkin Butter from Cookie Mag, a recipe to go along with their equally yummy Flaxseed, Fig, and Walnut Crackers. They say it's a good way to get some delicious nutrition into kids - without disguising it. Pumpkin butter isn't safe for canning, but it will keep up to a week in the fridge.

Why is it unsafe for canning when it can be bought commercially canned?

High-acid foods like pickles, tomatoes, and many fruits and vegetables are more resistant to bacteria growth and considered safe for home canning with water baths or pressure canners.

Low-acid foods like meats and some veggies (like pumpkin) can also be preserved but it's trickier. Commercial canners use methods not available to home canners.
