Make Pumpkin Butter In An Instant Pot

Did you know that your Instant Pot can be used as a slow cooker too? Yep, there’s a button that converts it to a slow cooker setting. So, I used mine to make this recipe since the bowl is smaller.

All you have to do is set it to the slow cooker setting, ensure that the valve is set to venting and turn the setting to “MORE” by pressing the slow cooker button until it changes.

So easy right?

And you could also make this slow cooker pumpkin butter on the stovetop. The slow cooker just saves you the time watching over the pot.

To make this recipe on the stovetop, place all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. After that, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, until the pumpkin butter is thick and reduced down.
