Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar, (or light brown sugar or sugar-free alternative*)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup, (or agave syrup, honey or sugar-free alternative*)
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, (or any combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice or cloves to suit your taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, (or nut or maple extract*)

Instructions

  • Combine everything except the vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a bubble while stirring until the sugar dissolves. Lower to medium-low (or low, depending on the strength of your burner) and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the burner and stir in the vanilla.
  • Cool completely, give it a few stirs, then transfer to an airtight container or jar.

Notes

(*Each substitution will impart a different flavor, so choose based on your preference.)
  • For a really smooth syrup, whisk the cooled mixture through a fine mesh strainer positioned over a bowl. 
  • For a thinner or thicker syrup, adjust the amount of water by 1/4 cup, more or less.
  • Transfer the syrup to an airtight container (like a mason jar) and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If separation occurs, give the container a good shake or just stir it up.
  • Turn it into a creamer: Substitute the water with dairy milk, plant-based milk or half & half.
