For the Base

1 cup water Acts as the base for the syrup; no substitution needed.
1 cup packed brown sugar Provides sweetness and depth; can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
½ cup pumpkin puree Main flavor component; use plain pumpkin puree (not pie filling) for best results.

For the Spices

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warm spice; substitute with pumpkin pie spice if desired.
½ teaspoon ground ginger Contributes a zesty flavor; fresh ginger can be used if preferred.
¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg Offers a nutty aroma; whole nutmeg can be grated for freshness.
¼ teaspoon ground cloves Intensifies the spice profile; feel free to omit if not preferred.

For Flavor Enhancements

1 teaspoon maple extract Enhances the maple flavor; adjust based on extract strength.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds smoothness and depth; it's optional but recommended for extra richness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, packed brown sugar, and pumpkin puree along with ground cinnamon, ground ginger, grated nutmeg, and ground cloves. Stir until fully incorporated.
Continue to whisk gently until the brown sugar is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Adjust the heat to medium-low and let the mixture heat gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the syrup has simmered, evaluate its consistency. It should be slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in maple extract and vanilla extract. Whisk to integrate.
Let the syrup cool in the saucepan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a clean glass jar.
