I saw the recipe for Spice Pumpkin Spread - does this have to be served warm?

I am taking Pumpkin Bread in small loaves to school tomorrow. I want to have something for them to spread on the bread.

But I would love to have the pumpkin butter recipe

I wouldn't think that the pumpkin bread needs to be warm...room temp would be fine!

Here is one that is actually pumpkin flavored/sweetened butter. This may be easier to do since normal pumpkin butters would take some cooking right now. Since you are getting it ready for in the morning, maybe this would work better.

Here is one of the comments with some helpful hints:

Reviewed on Feb. 7, 2006 by LVS OK,this really is quite good and is served in a restaurant here in Holland,MI. What you have to do is mix the softened butter and pumpkin together. Yes, it's curdled. Now put it in the microwave to soften the butter (this only takes a few seconds), and then take a fork and whip it. If the curdling is not gone after whipping, put it back in the microwave and whip again. Now, add your spices. Beat and then put in the frig to harden. You can always take it out to reach room temp if you prefer...and add ground pecans to it, too.More spices if you prefer.I used brown sugar instead of XXX sugar and only enough to lighly sweeten.
 
Here is an actual cooked pumpkin butter:

can I just use Cinnamon plus and if so how much?

I don't have any nutmeg.

Thanks for your suggestions

I think I will use this one since it can sit out for a while

I would sub 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon plus, that contains both of those spices and more...

I just made homemade cranberry sauce tonight and used the cinn. plus and it's so good!

That pumpkin butter recipe sounds really good...let us know how it turns out!

Okay I'm done making the dip and no it didn't take that long, daughter isn't feeling well again

I don't know if I made it correctly or not.

I used 100% solid pack pumpkin - is that the same as pumpkin puree

and also

I used the whole can of pumpkin - I made a double recipe and it didn't taste that pumkpiny with only 1 cup

It taste great now. I am hoping that it will taste even better tomorrow morning

so let me know what I did wrong.

Thanks
