Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Fine-mesh sieve

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup pumpkin purée not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg preferably freshly grated
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, stir together the water, dark brown sugar, pumpkin purée, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves and ground allspice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring every so often to help dissolve the sugar.
  • When the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Allow the mixture to steep for a minimum of 15 minutes.
  • Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve over a shallow bowl in the sink. Stir the mixture in the fine-mesh sieve to help separate the syrup from the pumpkin purée. Let the mixture cool completely and then store in a sterile, airtight container in the refrigerator. Shake before using. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The syrup should last two to three weeks in the refrigerator.
  • Make sure your spices are fresh. Spices start to lose potency after six months.
  • Double check to ensure you're using pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
