Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and water. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer.
- Add Spices and Simmer: Whisk in the vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Allow the syrup to simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes to prepare for straining.
- Strain Syrup: Pour the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into an airtight container to remove any pumpkin pulp, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Cool Completely and Store: Allow the strained syrup to cool completely before sealing the container. Store the syrup in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Use and Storage: Use the syrup within 2 weeks for best flavor and quality.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of brown sugar used.
- For a smoother syrup, be sure to strain out all pumpkin pulp before storing.
- This syrup is excellent on pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, in coffee, or as a dessert topping.
- Shake or stir before each use as natural settling may occur.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
