Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (120g) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the pumpkin puree and water in a small saucepan and whisk until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture looks uniform and sugars start dissolving (3 minutes).
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk occasionally to prevent sticking. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until syrup thickens slightly and becomes fragrant.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (30 seconds).
- Optional: Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or jar to remove pumpkin bits.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly and refrigerate. Keeps up to 2 weeks.
Notes
If syrup thickens too much in the fridge, stir in a teaspoon or two of warm water before using. For a paleo or vegan version, substitute sugars with pure maple syrup or coconut sugar, noting the texture will be slightly thinner. Straining is optional depending on desired texture.
