Instructions
- Combine the sugar, water, pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla bean seeds and pod in a small saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer uncovered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and infused with the spices.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup steep for 5 minutes to intensify the flavors.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or container to remove the pumpkin solids and vanilla pod.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Use pumpkin purée rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid added sugars and spices that can alter flavor.
- For stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of a bean and add 1 tsp to the syrup.
