Ingredients
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree
- ½ tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the canned pumpkin puree. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and the pumpkin is fully incorporated.
- Stir in the pumpkin spice mix. This will infuse the syrup with the warm and aromatic flavors of pumpkin spice.
- Allow the syrup to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This adds a layer of depth and sweetness to the syrup.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
Optional Step: For a smoother syrup, you can strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heatproof container. This will remove any solids and leave you with a silky syrup.
