How To Make "bourbon cherry pie" pumpkin butter

  • 1
    In a saucepan, take cherries, bourbon, water, brown sugar, honey/sugar, and boil on medium/high heat until sugar is totally dissolved and bourbon is cooked out to your taste level.
  • 2
    Place in blender and pulse for a second for a rough chop of the cherries. Pour back in saucepan.
  • 3
    Add the vanilla extract and amaretto. Cook on a low medium heat.
  • 4
    Whisk in the cinnamon and ginger.
  • 5
    Add canned pumpkin and butter. Continue whisking and raise the heat to a boil. This will bubble and spit, so I would put the lid on it.
  • 6
    Then remove lid, lower heat, and whisk in Knox Gelatin. Continue whisking until totally dissolved.
  • 7
    Pour into sterilized jars and follow canning water bath process.
