Ingredients
½ cup pumpkin purée
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup water
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: Add pumpkin purée, brown sugar, water, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt to a small saucepan. Whisk until smooth and combined.
-
Simmer: Heat the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
-
Cook Down: Allow the sauce to simmer for 7-10 minutes until it thickens slightly and darkens in color. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract for an added depth of flavor.
-
Cool and Store: Let the sauce cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
Spicy Kick: For extra warmth, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small amount of ginger to the sauce.
Vegan Version: Replace maple syrup with agave nectar and use a plant-based milk for a fully vegan version.
Richer Texture: Substitute the water with coconut milk or another dairy-free milk for a creamier sauce.
