- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: About 1 1/2 cups syrup (approximately 12 servings at 2 tablespoons each) 1x
- Category: Beverage Syrup
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree, canned or homemade
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed (dark brown sugar preferred)
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together ½ cup pumpkin puree and 1 cup water until smooth to thin out the pumpkin (about 1-2 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon cloves, and a pinch of salt if using. Mix well (1 minute).
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken (5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking often, until the syrup thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, aiming for a texture thinner than honey but thicker than water (3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to add depth and round out the flavors.
- Let the syrup cool completely in the pan (about 15 minutes), then transfer to a clean glass jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Simmer gently and stir frequently to avoid burning. Use fresh spices for best flavor. If lumps form, blend or whisk vigorously after cooking. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before use.
