Spiced Pumpkin Syrup
·Dissolve the sugar
Warm the water with the sugar over low heat and add the spices. The aim is to dissolve the sugar without letting the water come to a boil.
Add the purée and vanilla
Stir the pumpkin purée and vanilla into the liquid. Keep it over low heat for about 8 minutes, making sure the water doesn't boil.
Cool and store
Remove from the heat and let cool. If you like, strain the syrup through a cheesecloth or fine sieve for a clear finish. Pour into a jar and store in the fridge for 1-2 months.
