Honey-Pumpkin Butter

2 cups cooked pumpkin, pureed
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Simmer uncovered on low heat about 40
minutes, stirring frequently, until thick (like stiff apple butter). When
it is thick enough for you, ladle into jars and refrigerate. Makes about 
1 1/2 cups.
