Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (pure, not pie filling)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup filtered water
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
Combine water, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Stir continuously until all sugar crystals have dissolved.
Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon sticks, ginger, and cloves into the saucepan.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the puree is well incorporated.
Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
Transfer the finished syrup into a glass container or jar and allow it to cool before sealing.
Notes
Store the syrup in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you prefer a thinner syrup, you can add an extra tablespoon of water. For a more intense spice flavor, you can let the syrup steep for an additional 5 minutes off the heat before straining.
