What IS pumpkin butter?

Is pumpkin butter just butter mixed with pumpkin? Is it pumpkin spice flavored butter? How do you use it and why would I want it?

Pumpkin butter is pumpkin puree cooked down with some warm spices like cinnamon, anise, nutmeg, cloves – or a store-bought pumpkin pie spice which contains all of these spices which is what I use in this recipe. Apple cider which lends a very subtle tartness and some sweetener. As it cooks down, the flavors meld together and some of the liquid evaporates from the pumpkin puree which leaves the pumpkin butter a bit thick.
