Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup
Description
The Pumpkin Spice Simple Syrup starts by combining fresh pumpkin purée, white sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin spice seasoning, and water in a pot. The mixture is brought to a boil and then simmered to fully incorporate flavors. Cooling allows the syrup to thicken slightly. Straining is optional but recommended to reduce pulp for a smoother syrup. It stores refrigerated for about one week, and some sediment may settle during storage, so shaking before use is advised.
The syrup balances the natural earthiness of pumpkin with sweet sugars and warm spices, creating a versatile liquid sweetener. It can be added to coffee, tea, cocktail recipes, or desserts for a spiced pumpkin flavor without the texture of pumpkin solids.
This recipe yields approximately 1.5 cups of syrup and works best when using smooth pumpkin purée made in a food processor or blender to maintain consistency.
Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin See recipe notes for homemade purée, puree
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning or Chinese 5-spice
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add pumpkin, both sugars, spices, and water to a small pot. Bring to a boil, and then lower heat slightly. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes.
- Take the syrup off heat, and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove some of the pumpkin.Pour the syrup into a glass jar or bottle, and store in the fridge. Use within a week.Since this syrup contains real pumpkin, some sediment may appear as it rests in the fridge. Shake syrup before using.
Notes
- Yields about 1½ cups of syrup suitable for drinks or baking.
- Use homemade pumpkin purée processed until very smooth for best texture.
- Shake the syrup before each use as sediment can settle over time.
