Cooking Time: 
15min
Serves: 
1
Instructions: 

In a hot oven 400 or so bake pumpkin whole for around an hour,let cool seed and peel and spin in a food processor this is where I used the wine to get it to spin Throw all everything into a pot and boil /reduce around 12 minutes,you have to stir this all the time or it will scorch.When it looks right put let it cool again when cool place on your slightly oiled dehydrator trays and dry. This is a good leather specially if you enjoy pumpkin pie trying to figure a way to make one using this recipe while paddling.If you do not wish to dry this process 10 minutes in a water bath hot packed in jars.This butter is great on a bagel or toast.
