Looks incredibly good!
This looks AMAZING!! Can you freeze this? If so, for how long?
Hi Jessie, Yes, you can freeze the pumpkin butter. I would add it to a freezer zip top bag, release all the air, and freeze it flat. It makes storing so much easier if the butter is flat. I would say the butter would be good at least up to six months. Maybe longer.
