Pumpkin butter
In a small pan, add pumpkin puree, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and salt. Stir to combine. Cook on medium-low heat for about 7 minutes, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. It’s ready when it thickens and darkens in colour. Take it off the heat and transfer to a bowl or container to cool down to room temperature. You can make this step a day or two ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assembly
In a small pan or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the sage leaves picked off the branch. They should sizzle and shrivel up - be careful not to burn them. Once they crisp up, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.
