- Set the pan over a medium heat, and leave the mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the vanilla extract and mix again.
- Transfer the syrup to an air-tight bottle or container, and allow it to cool down completely before chilling it in the fridge.

Notes
- The syrup can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, just shake the bottle very well before using it - I honestly doubt that it can last that long anyway, it will surely be used really quickly
- If you use real pumpkin instead of the canned one, make sure you puree it to a fine consistency. The pumpkin can be boiled or baked, it doesn't really matter much.
- I highly recommend storing it in the fridge before using, the syrup is even more flavourful when it's cold, rather than room temperature or hot.
