Has the Winter chill hit your area yet? Wouldn't you love to curl up in front of a crackling fire with one of these?
I will admit to having an unnatural weakness to pumpkin. I don't wait for the holidays to bake or cook with it, but the cold weather tends to make my normal cravings even stronger. From bread to pancakes, pumpkin rolls to bars, I am a bit of a pumpkin nut.
Now, since I am also 2 months pregnant, this means my pumpkin desire might just borderline on crazy. When browsing Wholesome RD, I may or may not have had heart flutters when I saw this recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Syrup for coffee drinks. I also may or may not have also added this syrup to my hot cocoa... yeah, it was ah-mazing!
Erin has a great site! She is a Registered Dietitian dishing up her favorite recipes, a runner, mom and photography enthusiast. Just take a peak around her site, I am sure there are many things that will catch your eye.
This recipe is super simple! Tweak it to your own tastes and never have to splurge on a coffee stand pumpkin flavored coffee again. As you know, I am a country girl so making things at home is a necessity and my guilty pleasure. I went ahead and added a bit more spices to my syrup mixture and found it the perfect way to start a cold morning.
With the holidays coming up, this would also make a fabulous hostess gift. Just wrap it up with some sparkly kitchen twine or a big seasonal bow. As a side benefit, making this will make your whole home smell fabulous and inviting.

You Will Need:
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons canned pumpkin
1/2 cup water
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Combine all ingredients in a small, heavy bottom saucepan. Simmer till reduced by half, whisking constantly to keep it from burning.
Remove from the heat when it reaches the consistency of maple syrup. Let it cool slightly, then pour into a heat proof container and store in the fridge. Keeps for 2-3 weeks.
*Note - If using mason jars, be sure to warm the glass slightly under warm water before pouring in a hot liquid.
