Method
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the water, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and coconut sugar until mostly smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently so the sugar dissolves and the pumpkin does not stick.
- Add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the syrup is fragrant and slightly thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- For a smoother syrup, strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof jar or bottle, pressing gently on the solids if desired.
- Let cool completely before using, then refrigerate and shake well before each use.
Notes
For the smoothest texture, strain the syrup before storing. Keep refrigerated in a sealed jar or bottle and use within 1 to 2 weeks. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur. You can adjust the sweetness by reducing or increasing the coconut sugar slightly.
