Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Spice Syrup

For the best pumpkin spice syrup, always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. This gives the syrup a natural pumpkin flavour and gives you control over sweetness. Brown sugar can add a rich, caramel flavour that makes the syrup even more delicious.

When making the syrup, cook it gently over a medium heat and don’t let it boil too much. A slow simmer allows the pumpkin and spices to meld together completely, while maintaining the perfect consistency. You can also add more or less cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg or cloves, depending on your own taste.

For a smooth and durable syrup, strain after cooking and keep in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator. Always shake or stir before use, as natural ingredients may separate. This homemade syrup makes a great addition to coffee, tea, desserts, pancakes and many other treats.
