"This is so good and so easy to prepare. Perfect to spread on toast, english muffins, biscuits, stir into your oatmeal, try it as a dip for bananas or apples; or as a topping for roasted acorn squash. Also, great on sandwiches as a spread with roast turkey, ham, or pork. There are endless ways to use this. I make this and store in small mason jars. Good for 1 week in the refrigerator, or up to 6 months in the freezer. One of my favorite ways to use this is on a slice of honey walnut beer bread or fresh made pumpernickel."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Add all the ingredients to a small pot and bring to medium high heat. Stir to combine and reduce to low. Cover and cook 10 minutes, stir occasionally. Then uncover and cook an additional 20 minutes until it begins to thicken. Again, stir occasionally.
Step 2
Puree ... Remove from the heat and puree with an immersion blender; or you can add to a standard blender. Puree until smooth. Let it cool and then pour in your favorite container. I love to use mason/canning jars. Refrigerate up to a week or freeze up to 6 months. Great for Christmas gifts! ENJOY! Perfect for the Fall Season.
