Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, about 1 ¾ cups
- ½ cup water
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 4 cups apple juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup water, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Let the pumpkin mixture cool while you prepare your straining station.
- Place 2-3 layers of cheesecloth inside a fine mesh strainer, leaving plenty of overhang. Place the strainer on top of a bowl or measuring cup to catch the strained liquid.
- Once cooled, add ¼-⅓ of the pumpkin mixture to the straining station. Use a large metal spoon to stir the pumpkin, pressing it into the cheesecloth until as much liquid as possible is strained into the vessel below.
- Alternatively, you can gently squeeze the portions of pumpkin in the cheesecloth, being careful not to squeeze too hard. You want the transparent liquid to come out of the pumpkin, not any of the actual pumpkin pulp. Discard any remaining pulp before moving on to the next portion of pumpkin mixture. You should end up with about 1 ½ cups of liquid.
- Wash out the saucepan before adding the strained pumpkin liquid back to it. Add 4 cups apple juice and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and simmer over low heat until reduced to 4 cups, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the juice into a storage bottle and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Serve chilled over ice or hot.
