      1. In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the brown sugar, water, and pumpkin puree. Stir to fully combine before adding all of the spices.

      2. Bring the syrup to a simmer for 5 minutes but don’t let it boil.

      3. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 30 minutes, letting the spices continue to steep.

      4. Pour the syrup through a cheesecloth to remove any large, loose spices and the bulk of the puree. You can use a spoon to push the syrup through the cheesecloth.

      5. Bottle and store the syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.
