Family Home and Life: Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup

When we were at Apple Annie's last weekend I noticed they had a variety of flavored syrups. One caught my eye, Pumpkin Spice Syrup; that would go perfect with my Pumpkin Pancakes from last week! Well it's Pumpkin everything right now and I love it, so being the D.I.Y.'er that I am I said "I can make that!" and began first thing Monday morning. ?It's super easy,?delicious, and a lot less expensive than store bought.?There are a few different versions out there and I will show you mine. I call mine Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup.



I put 1 3/4 cups of sugar and 1 3/4 cups of water in a sauce pan and brought it to a simmer. Then I?immediately?added 1 TB of Pumpkin Pie Spice and 2 TB of pumpkin puree. Stir well and just as it starts to simmer again remove from heat and let it sit until it's at room temp. Stir in a 1/2 tsp of Vanilla extract. This syrup is thinner than store bought.



Put a coffee filter in a funnel over your container and pour in your syrup. This will take a while so have some patience. You can change out the filter to speed things up if you like. It really doesn't need to be filtered but it is such a nice color after being filtered and mellows the?sharpness?of the spices a bit. Or add spices, filter, then stir in the pumpkin. Because of the addition of pumpkin, be sure you?refrigerate?this syrup.




Wasn't that easy? Serve it warm over?pancakes, use it instead of sugar or honey in hot?cereals, stir it into plain yogurt,?or perhaps over ice cream. It's so good! Maybe even in your coffee? Hmmm, I'll have to try that next. Wouldn't this make a super gift from your kitchen?



I thought that you might like a tag for your freshly made Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup so I made you one. Use regular printer paper or a sturdy card stock.?
