Instructions

n a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup water, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup granulated white sugar, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup.
Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sugar has completely dissolved. You will know the sugar has completely dissolved when the cloudiness disappears and the syrup is clear.
Whisk in the ½ cup pumpkin puree, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt.
Simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened to a syrup consistency.
Remove from the heat and stir in the2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool before pouring it into an airtight container. I usually pour it into a glass canning jar or plastic squeeze bottle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Tips

Adjust the sweetness of the syrup to your tastes by adding or reducing the amount of sugar. Be sure to always use a minimum of one part water to two parts sugar to maintain the proper consistency.
Make sure you are using pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix. The pumpkin pie mix has additional spices added in. If you only have pumpkin pie mix then I would suggest not adding any additional spices.
Replace the spices with two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice blend.
Use a small funnel to make pouring the syrup into the storage container easier.

Storage

Allow the syrup to come to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator.

Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
