Equipment
- 1 Medium saucepan
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Airtight container or bottle for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a pinch salt salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, reduce the heat to low. Add in ½ cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Whisk the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
