Basic Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Pumpkin Spice Mixture
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Make Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add Pumpkin and Spices: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the syrup base.
- Simmer the Mixture: Whisk everything together thoroughly. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
- Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container or bottle to remove any pumpkin pulp or spice bits, ensuring a smooth syrup.
- Cool and Store: Let the syrup cool completely, then seal it in an airtight container. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks and enjoy as a sweet, spiced addition to your favorite beverages and recipes.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree for consistent taste and texture; avoid pumpkin pie filling that contains added sugars and spices.
- The syrup can be refrigerated for up to two weeks; always store it in a sealed container.
- Shake or stir syrup before each use as some settling may occur.
- This syrup is excellent for coffee, pancakes, oatmeal, cocktails, and desserts.
- Adjust spices to taste for a milder or stronger pumpkin spice flavor.
