Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine water and sugar in your saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and whisk gently until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk vigorously to break up any clumps of pumpkin.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through your fine-mesh strainer into your clean glass jar. Press gently on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract every last drop.
- Let the syrup cool completely at room temperature before sealing the jar, about 30-45 minutes.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Give it a good shake before each use.
Notes
Don’t boil the syrup vigorously; a gentle simmer is all you need. Let the syrup cool completely before tasting, as warm syrup will taste thinner and less sweet. Label your jar to avoid confusion.
