Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 cup (240ml) filtered water
  • 1/3 cup (80g) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness and silky texture

Instructions

  1. Combine brown sugar, water, and pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan. Whisk gently to combine.
  2. Add the cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger to the saucepan.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
  4. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly and the spices to infuse.
  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. Optional: Pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl or storage jar to remove the cinnamon stick and any pumpkin bits.
  7. Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. Shake well before each use.

Notes

If syrup is too thick after cooling, warm gently and whisk in a splash of water to loosen. If too thin, simmer a few extra minutes to reduce. Use fresh spices for best flavor. Store refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Shake well before use as natural settling may occur.
