You know Fall is in full swing when the air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and you smell pumpkin at every corner. So I couldn't avoid jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon when I needed to bring something to a Sunday brunch with friends. With little time to prepare, I wanted something that was simple (4 ingredients or less!) and quick to make.
This recipe turns ordinary butter into something seasonally delicious with just the simple additions of pumpkin puree and Stakich Enriched Raw Honey. And it couldn't be any easier to make! Spread it on rolls, pancakes, waffles, toast, bagels... the list goes on!
Beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add in the pumpkin puree, 1 Tbsp. at a time, every 30 seconds, and continue to beat until well combined.
Add in the honey and vanilla and continue to beat until thick and fluffy, approximately 2 minutes.
Spread and eat!
Store this however you normally store butter. Put it in the fridge if you plan on keeping it for a while, or on the counter if it will be eaten within a couple days. Either way it should be served room temperature.

Bee Pollen vs. Royal Jelly vs. Propolis: There are numerous bee products available, so let’s take a moment to examine the differences between bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. Bee products have been revered for thousands of years, trans-culturally, for nourishment, healing, and well-being. Today, they are being rediscovered as natural superfoods. Three of the most popular treasures of the hive are bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. They’re often combined, but each is also quite distinct in its origins, components and health benefits. Appreciating these differences can help you make the most of what nature’s hardest workers offer.
Royal jelly is the royal bee food and a super nutrient-rich substance and to keep its health benefits intact it needs to be stored properly. Knowing how to store it properly is essential to maintaining its potency. Whether you're using fresh royal jelly, freeze-dried royal jelly powder, or capsules, you need to be aware of their shelf life and best practices
Bee pollen is more than just a fad health product, it is a nutritional powerhouse and one of Mother Nature’s most complete superfoods. Bee pollen is a functional food praised for its beauty, health, and wellness benefits, being very rich in antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins (such as vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin E), minerals (such as zinc, iron, magnesium and calcium) and much more.
Royal jelly is a thick, milky-white substance secreted by nurse bees (young worker bees) and is used to feed all larvae in the hive for the first few days of life. However, the real magic happens when one larva is exclusively fed royal jelly — this larva becomes the queen bee.
