So lately I have posted a lot of recipes. I am pregnant and food is playing a big roll in my world right now. I am happy to admit that as of my last appointment I had only gained 1 pound. Not bad for being 20 weeks along. I however am a week out from my next appointment so we will see how much Halloween weight I have gained. With that in mind here goes.... I mentioned pumpkin before. I love it this time of year and try to cook with it as much as possible. I have been craving a pumpkin spice steamer for weeks now. I can't bring myself to buy one at Starbucks for 3.50. Nor can I bring myself to buy a bottle of the flavoring. I'm cheap I know, but groceries are expensive these days. 4.00 is almost 2 gallons of milk. In a random search for something to make for dinner tonight I stumbled across a recipe to make your own pumpkin spice syrup. Here is the recipe I found. I was like I can do that, and I did only differently :)
So here is what I did, and we had it on our pancakes for dinner and it was delish.
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (you could use white)
1 tsp pumpkin spice mix
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
Boil you water and add sugar. Stir till disolved. Add seasonings and pumpkin puree and cook for 5 minutes. Mine got rather thick and gooey. Store in fridge. Now you can have your own homemade pumpkin spice steamer, latte or whatever you choose to do with it.
