For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pecans lightly in a dry skillet before pulsing them in the food processor. If you don't have apple juice, you can substitute with chicken broth or water. However, apple juice adds a nice touch of sweetness. Store leftover pumpkin butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. A meat thermometer is highly recommended to ensure the pork chops are cooked to a safe internal temperature without overcooking.
