For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Adjust the spices to your preference. If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or ginger. The pumpkin butter will thicken as it cools, so don't be concerned if it seems a bit thin when it's fresh out of the slow cooker. To ensure a smooth consistency, you can use an immersion blender to blend the pumpkin butter after cooking. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
