    📝 Key ingredients

    Read through for all the tips you will need for success!
    Full steps and ingredients in recipe card below.

    • Butter: Use good quality real butter for the best results. I prefer unsalted butter so I can adjust how much salt to add but you
    • Pumpkin: I used canned pumpkin puree for convenience. You can use homemade pumpkin puree if you prefer.
    • Pumpkin spice: Use store-bought or homemade pumpkin spice mix. This helps bring out the pumpkin flavor. You can add more or less pumpkin spice as you wish or substitute with cinnamon if you prefer.
    • Maple syrup: Use real maple syrup for the best flavor. You can also use caramel sauce or honey if you prefer.
    • Sage: Pumpkin and sage are the best fall flavor combination. I toasted the sage leaves in butter until crisp.
    • Other toppings: Roasted pumpkin seeds, cranberry seeds, flaky salt, praline pecans, and any other toppings you're feeling will work great.

    These creamy pumpkin cheesecake bars and this pumpkin cheesecake roll are also perfect to make when hosting a fall or winter party!

    👩‍🍳 How to make a pumpkin butter board

    Inspired by Justine's butter board, It's essentially softened butter spread on a board with toppings. Dip or spread onto your carb of choice (crusty bread, crackers…). It’s meant to be shared just like a charcuterie board. If you love bread and butter, this one’s for you!

    cooked down pumpkin puree

    Step 1: In a small pan, add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and salt. Cook on medium-low heat for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. It’s ready when it thickens and darkens in color.

    Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl or container to cool down to room temperature. You can make this step a day or two ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.

    Step 2: In a medium bowl, mash the softened butter with a spoon or spatula until smooth and creamy. Add most of the cooked down pumpkin to the butter and stir until smooth. Reserve a few tablespoons of pumpkin for making swirls.

    Step 3: Take your clean wooden board and evenly spread the pumpkin butter on top in a thick layer. Add the reserved cooked pumpkin on top and swirl it into the butter.

    Top with crispy sage leaves fried in butter, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, pumpkin seeds, flaky salt, cranberries, and/or praline pecans.

    Step 4: Serve with knives for spreading onto bread or use the bread to scoop up the butter directly from the board.

    ✔️ Expert pumpkin butter tips

    1. Cook the pumpkin down: This helps enhance the pumpkin flavor and prevents the butter from splitting from too much water content.
    2. Use room temperature, good quality butter: It'll be easier to mix and will taste incredible.
    3. Apply toppings liberally: The more toppings, the more texture and flavor it will have.
    4. Serve to a crowd: This is a butter board to share with everyone!

    🥄 Make ahead and storage

    You can cook down the pumpkin puree ahead of time and store in the fridge for 2-3 days until you’re ready to make the butter board.

    I recommend making the butter board before serving so that the butter stays soft and creamy. Mix the softened butter with the pumpkin puree, spread onto a board, and top with toppings. 

    The board can be left out at room temperature for a few hours. 

    If you have any leftovers, scrape it all into a container and refrigerate. It will last for up to a week refrigerated. Let it come to room temperature before eating.

    📖 Recipe FAQs

    How do I made a dairy free butter board?

    Use a good quality dairy free butter substitute or spread.

    Can I customize the toppings?

    Yes, that's why butter boards are so great! Add your favorite toppings and you can even have different areas on the board with different toppings for variety.

      1 cup good quality unsalted butter

    Assembly

    • In a small pan or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the sage leaves picked off the branch. They should sizzle and shrivel up - be careful not to burn them. Once they crisp up, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
      2 tablespoons butter, 1 bunch sage leaves
    • Take your wooden board (see notes) and evenly spread the pumpkin butter on top in a thick layer. Add the reserved cooked pumpkin on top and swirl it into the butter.

    Notes

    I don’t recommend using a marble board because it may get grease stains. It’s best to use a conditioned wooden board or a ceramic plate. Don’t use a used cutting board because the butter will be infused with the flavours of what you cut on the cutting board.
    If the wood board looks a little dry, rub it all over with a few tablespoons of olive oil and wipe off the excess. This will prevent the butter from melting and getting absorbed into the wood.
    Make ahead and storage:
    You can cook down the pumpkin puree ahead of time and store in the fridge for 2-3 days until you’re ready to make the butter board.
    I recommend making the butter board before serving so that the butter stays soft and creamy. Mix the softened butter with the pumpkin puree, spread onto a board, and top with toppings. 
    The board can be left out at room temperature for a few hours. 
    If you have any leftovers, scrape it all into a container and refrigerate. It will last for up to a week refrigerated. Let it come to room temperature before eating.
