Crockpot Pumpkin Butter

October 6, 2015

I have a few accomplishments in my life of which I am extremely proud. As previously mentioned, I learned in my early twenties that I can consume an entire Chipotle burrito in 6 minutes. I taught myself to whistle at 17. In the sixth grade, I charged my parents and brother $10 each to attend my fall piano concert, which I held in the same living room where they had heard me practice the same six songs for a month straight (which is part of my upcoming blog post titled: How to Tell if You Should Send Your Daughter to Business School).

But in the fourth grade, I won our school’s spelling bee. I had spent months sitting at the kitchen counter with my mom while she prepared dinner and listed random words for me to spell: deodorant, yogurt, bouquet. When the school spelling bee came around, as shy as I was, I stood in front of everyone and spelled every word correctly. It had to be one of my best days ever – kids that never spoke to me came up to me to say congratulations, I had a little trophy to carry around all day, and we celebrated at the happiest place on earth, Cici’s Pizza.

The next step was the Regional Spelling Bee.

I sat in a chair next to two kids I had never met on a brightly lit stage where I couldn’t see any of the judges. Round 1 came and went, then Round 2…and then 6 rounds later there were only a handful of us left. When my turn came, I stood up and was asked to spell contradiction, which I misspelled as contridiction. I sat down in the audience with my family and watched as I sadly realized that I knew how to spell every other word that remained. The winning word? Pumpkin.

And every year when the fall recipes start popping up and pumpkins are everywhere, I fondly think back to that day where that little girl learned her first life lesson – though she felt defeated, she was still proud of herself knowing she had done the best she could.

    Putting the pumpkins butter on the pumpkin bread sounds like it would create a wonderfully intense pumpkin favor.
