Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, pour in 1 cup of water, then add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and ½ cup of pumpkin puree. Over medium-high heat, whisk these ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture becomes smooth, taking about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the initial mixture is smooth, add in 1 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, grated nutmeg, and ground cloves. Continue whisking as you bring the saucepan to a gentle simmer; this should take about 5 minutes.
- Allow the syrup to simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. During this time, you’ll notice the mixture thickening and becoming syrupy.
- After the syrup has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Allow the syrup to cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a clean glass jar or bottle and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Notes
Use pure pumpkin puree and real maple extract for a rich, authentic flavor. Adjust sweetness as desired and store in fridge or freeze for longer storage.
