Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup

Place the cubed pumpkin into a medium saucepan and cover over with water. 

Pop a lid on the pan then place the pan over a medium heat. 

Meanwhile, in another saucepan add the sugar, water, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla & star anise, then bring the mixture to a rolling boil to infuse. 

When the pumpkin is cooked blend it into a smooth purée with a little of the cooking liquid.

Add 1/2 cup of the pumpkin purée to the sugar/water syrup mixture. Left over pumpkin can be made into a soup by adding vegetable stock & seasonings. 

Simmer the pumpkin syrup for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened to a light glaze like consistency. (The syrup does thicken once cool so don’t over thicken it)

Pass the syrup through a sieve into a bottle of your choice. 

Once cool use the syrup to make delicious pumpkin spiced lattes. 

The syrup can be stored in a sealed bottle in your cupboard for a couple of months.
