Sweet & Spicy Pumpkin Butter

A generous slather of this sweet and spicy pumpkin butter on a piece of toast or a stack of pancakes adds a delicious sweetness and kick to breakfast. This simple spread comes from Eric Tucker, the executive chef at Millennium Restaurant, one of VegNews staffers' favorite local restaurants. Whip up a batch of pumpkin scones and this butter, and you're all set for fall.
