Servings 32 tablespoons
Calories 21kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice seasoning
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the water, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree. Place over medium-low to low heat for about 1-2 minutes or until it begins to become gently fragrant.
- Add the pumpkin spice seasoning and vanilla extract and continue to simmer for about 5 more minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- *Optional: Strain the syrup through a cheesecloth for a smoother texture, ideal if using in a beverage.
- Transfer the syrup to a sealable jar and store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Before serving, give the jar a little shake to help ensure that anything that has settled at the bottom has been reincorporated.
Notes
* If you are planning on using the pumpkin spice syrup for pancakes, desserts, oatmeal, baking, or giving it as a gift, skip the straining step. You will want the syrup to be thicker for those recipes and straining it will cause it to be too thin and runny.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks. Shake before each use.
- Freezer: Not recommended since the texture changes once thawed.
- Make Ahead: This is perfect to make a few days in advance and keep chilled until needed.
