How to Make Smooth Pumpkin Butter

[Ryla819]

I am a new(ish) baker, making pumpkin butter today and wondering how I can get my spread to not be quite so grainy? It has been on the stove on low for about half an hour, but it is still not as smooth as I would like it to be.

There is a fine mesh strainer called a tamis. It is the key to smooth curds, creams, sauces, etc

tamis I buy in restaurant supply stores for $10 - 20 depending on size. A tamis with replaceable screen is about $150. I’ve never seen tamis in retail stores. You can probably get one online. Tamis is an indispensable tool in the commercial kitchen.

This is how fine the mesh is in the tamis
