Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 1 cup water (240 ml)
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (60 g), canned or homemade
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Whisk gently to combine before heating.
- Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves and liquid is clear. Reduce heat to low.
- Stir in pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to incorporate the pumpkin smoothly.
- Simmer gently on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning and allow syrup to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Allow syrup to cool to room temperature, then strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean jar or bottle. Seal tightly and refrigerate.
Notes
Use fresh or canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling). Stir frequently during simmering to prevent burning. Add vanilla extract off the heat to preserve flavor. Shake well before use as natural settling may occur. If syrup is too thick after cooling, stir in a teaspoon of warm water before use. Store refrigerated up to two weeks.
