Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 ½ cups water
• ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons whole cloves
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
• ½ cup pumpkin pie filling, or to taste, divided
• 4 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring regularly, until sugar is dissolved completely into a simple syrup, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Stir 6 tablespoons pumpkin pie filling, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice into the syrup. Bring liquid again to a simmer and cook until the syrup is well-spiced, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Strain the mixture through a sheet of cheesecloth. Return liquid to the saucepan over low heat.

Step 4

Stir sweetened condensed milk and remaining 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie filling into the spiced syrup and cook, stirring regularly, until the pumpkin dissolves into the liquid, about 5 minutes.
