How do I make this Zero Point Pumpkin Butter?

You can either make it on the stove top, in a slow cooker, or an instant pot.

Here are the visual directions for cooking it in the slow cooker:

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir to mix well. 

Cook with the lid cracked open. This will allow for the steam to be released-and for excessive liquid to evaporate.

Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring a few times throughout to prevent burning.

Remove lid and continue to cook on high for another 1-2 hours or until pumpkin butter has reached desired consistency.

Let it cool completely before transferring it into a jar or an air tight container and refrigerating.

Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Turned out really tasty! I had leftover pumpkin puree after making pumpkin pancakes, so did a half-batch of pumpkin butter using the stovetop method. It was so easy to whip up with no messy clean up. I just slathered a generous amount on oatmeal toast, and it's really yummy. I love Trader Joe's pumpkin butter, but it's 3 points a tablespoon! So nice to have a 0 point option. I used brown sugar Swerve and ChocZero sugar free maple syrup. Thank you!
