Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine water and brown sugar. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a heat-safe bowl or glass jar to remove any solids.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Cool completely to room temperature before sealing with a lid. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
For best texture, use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The syrup will thicken as it cools; if too thick, add a tablespoon of hot water at a time to thin. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Can be frozen in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
