Ingredients
1 cup pure pumpkin purée
1 cup granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a refined-sugar-free option)
1 cup maple syrup
1½ cups water
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (see homemade blend below)
Optional Twists:
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract after cooking for extra depth
Stir in a pinch of sea salt for balance
Use date syrup or agave in place of maple syrup for variation
Blend after cooking for an ultra-smooth texture
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin purée, sugar, maple syrup, water, and pumpkin pie spice.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often. Cook for about 3–5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat. Let cool, then transfer to a jar or bottle and refrigerate. Shake before use.
