Caramel Pumpkin Pie Simple Syrup

  • Ingredients: 
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • Directions: 
  • Heat 1/2 cup of the sugar in a sturdy pot over medium heat. Once it begins to caramelize, add more sugar, stirring to incorporate. Once all the sugar has caramelized, remove from heat and add water. Be careful, the mixture will sizzle (wear an oven mitt). Add spice and stir to incorporate. You may need to return to heat if the caramel starts to stick. Allow to cool, and then strain into an airtight container.
