Instructions
Add pumpkin, both sugars, spices, and water to a small pot. Bring to a boil, and then lower heat slightly. Simmer mixture for 5 minutes.
Take the syrup off heat, and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove some of the pumpkin.Pour the syrup into a glass jar or bottle, and store in the fridge. Use within a week.Since this syrup contains real pumpkin, some sediment may appear as it rests in the fridge. Shake syrup before using.
Notes
Yields: About 1 ½ cups syrup. Homemade pumpkin purée works perfectly, but make sure you've puréed it in a food processor to make it as smooth as possible.
