Pumpkin is always front and center in autumn recipes. And it should be! Some of my favorites include pumpkin cream cold foam cold brew, pumpkin pie cheesecake dip, and soft pumpkin cookies. This pumpkin spice syrup may be a new favorite though!
You can also use this homemade pumpkin sauce to whip up a pumpkin spice espresso martini! How fun is that?!

This is just a brief overview, find detailed instructions in the recipe card below!
Using Granulated Sugar or Maple Syrup
Regular granulated sugar can be substituted for the brown sugar if it’s all you have on hand.
If you’re wanting a more natural sweetener, you can also use real maple syrup in place of the brown sugar, just be sure to use only ½ cup of water to 1 cup of real maple syrup or the syrup will be too runny.
You could even add a dash of maple extract if you go the syrup route.

That sounds so delicious! How long can that store safely for? Fridge or counter? Can't wait to try it

Hi Isabela,
It is delicious, you're right about that! Store it in the fridge for up to three weeks (if it lasts that long!). A good rule of thumb is that simple syrups or coffee syrups store in the fridge for a decent amount of time - a few weeks at least. If there's every any mold or the syrup becomes "cloudy" that's when you want to discard it!
Happy PSL season!
