Butternut Vanilla Jam
Butternut Vanilla Jam is so good! A different use for the squash in your cold storage that will be a hit with the family.
If you don’t have vanilla beans it’s no problem. They are so expensive anymore that an easy replacement is Vanilla Paste. So very very good that you’ll have to use your willpower to keep from eating it out of the jar.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
You had me at butternut squash! Love that stuff. Beautiful color in jars also.
I love watching your videos. Fun to watch.
We have liquid vanilla. So how much liquid Vanilla vs. Paste? Can’t wait to try this recipe
I’m not really sure. It would be worth experimenting with.
Well I revamped the recipe and used frozen butternut squash. Takes 2 bags but you have to check the diced chunks as I noticed some still had the peeling on. Each bag has 4 cups.
Did anyone come up with an amount for liquid vanilla? Would love to try this recipe!
1 tbsp vanilla paste or extract
I know I’m late to this party, but mmm I want to try this! I love butternut squash and wondering how many 1/2 pints this makes.
Been following you for a year when I started canning. You are great and I love your sense of humor. I did shred the butternut to make it more spreadable. Wow it’s delicious. As your husband says you can eat it right out of the jar honey
