Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves to the pan. Whisk together until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process helps the syrup to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool down slightly before straining it through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof jar or bottle. This will remove any pulp or spice specks, leaving you with a smooth syrup.
Once completely cooled, store the pumpkin syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Shake or stir before using. Enjoy it drizzled over pancakes, mixed into beverages, or as a sweet topping for desserts.
