Pumpkin Spice Paste

Ingredients

• 240ml (1 cup) pumpkin purée
• 100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 60ml (1/4 cup) water
• 60ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup
• 5g (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
• 2g (1/2 tsp) ground nutmeg
• 1g (1/4 tsp) ground cloves
• 1g (1/4 tsp) ground ginger
• 1g (1/4 tsp) salt
• 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Spice Mixture

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt. Mix these spices together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.

Step 2: Start the Paste

In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, water, and maple syrup. Place over medium heat and stir with a whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add the Spices

Gradually add the prepared spice mixture to the saucepan, whisking continuously to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the paste. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Simmer and Thicken

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for approximately 15 minutes, stirring frequently. As it simmers, the paste will thicken, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.

Step 5: Finish the Paste

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Give the paste a final mix to ensure the vanilla is evenly distributed.

Step 6: Cool and Store

Allow the Pumpkin Spice Paste to cool before transferring it to a sterilized glass jar for storage. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
