Ingredients
- (29 oz) canned pumpkin purée
- 6 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 cup apple juice
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Put the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, maple syrup, apple juice, lemon juice, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt in a medium saucepan and stir until evenly combined.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom, until the mixture has darkened, thickened, and holds a line when you drag a spoon across the base of the pan. It will spit as it thickens, so use a long-handled spoon and keep the heat low.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spoon into a clean jar, cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. It keeps well for up to 2 weeks.
