Pumpkin Syrup

Oh, my...this pumpkin syrup is so delicious!  You can use this syrup to make a cold or hot pumpkin latte.  It would also be delicious drizzled over oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, yogurt or even ice cream. I like that this is not just a "pumpkin spice" syrup.  This syrup actually has pumpkin in it. I will double this recipe the next time I make it.  

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup water

1 tsp pumpkin spice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 TBS vanilla (add after above ingredients have simmered)

Combine above ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer; simmer for 5 minutes or until it reaches a syrup consistency.  Remove from heat and add in 1 tablespoon of vanilla.  Mix well to combine.  Cool the syrup and then store it in a mason jar in the refrigerator for approximately 2 weeks.

I used about 2 tablespoons of the syrup in my coffee drinks.  Use as much or as little syrup as you prefer.
