Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Light Corn Syrup - Though this recipe calls for corn syrup you may substitute agave or honey (not creamed) for it.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice- If you want to make your own here's a recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice!
- Pumpkin Puree - Make sure you grab the can that says 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. You could also use homemade or natural pumpkin puree.
- Evaporated Milk - You may substitute half and half or whipping cream for the evaporated milk. The half and half will give you a thin syrup while heavy cream would give you a thick consistency.
- Vanilla Extract - Many have asked about adding vanilla to this syrup. If you would like to add a teaspoon of vanilla when you add the evaporated milk feel free to do so.
How to make
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the sugar, corn syrup, and water to a boil.
- Boil for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the evaporated milk, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before carefully pouring into a syrup bottle or my favorite, a mason jar.
- Drizzle over this warm homemade pumpkin syrup your favorite pancakes and top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream!
Recipe FAQs
Store this syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to store it in a mason jar because it's easier to reheat in the microwave.
You can either re-heat this on the stove top over low heat or heat it up in the microwave.
Pancakes, waffles, french toast, german pancakes...... Even hot biscuits or sweet scones! Some like to stir a little bit into hot cereals or overnight oats. I've heard of people adding a tablespoon of syrup to their hot chocolate or fall coffee drinks this time of year even!
Yes, pour the syrup mixture into a freeze safer container and pop in the freezer. Freeze up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge.
