Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Syrup Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, sugar, water, and pumpkin spice blend. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients evenly before heating.
  2. Simmer the Syrup: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely and prevent the syrup from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  3. Thicken the Syrup: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Avoid boiling vigorously to prevent burning.
  4. Cool the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pumpkin syrup cool to room temperature. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Store Properly: Once cooled, pour the syrup into a clean airtight container or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of pumpkin spice to taste depending on how strong you want the fall flavor to be.
  • For a smoother syrup, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before cooling to remove pumpkin solids.
  • This syrup is perfect for adding to coffee, lattes, teas, or drizzling over desserts like pancakes or ice cream.
  • Use organic pumpkin purée for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Make sure to store the syrup refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
