Equipment
- fine mesh strainer (optional)
- sealable glass bottle or jar
Ingredients
- 1 cups water
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- ½ tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 vanilla bean, cut lengthwise (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
- 1½ cups dark rum
Instructions
- Whisk together the water, sugar, and brown sugar in a saucepan over med-high heat and bring to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the rum, and turn down the heat. Simmer, whisking occasionally, for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the rum, stir and allow the mixture to cool for about an hour.
- Pour the liqueur into a sealable bottle or jar. Store the liqueur in a cool location for 2-3 days to allow all of the flavors to blend with the alcohol. Enjoy this liqueur in your favorite cocktail or with your favorite Fall dessert!
Notes
- Some people decide to strain the liqueur before placing it in the bottle. I decided not to do this because there were beautiful and delicious vanilla beans and residual pieces from the ingredients. I wanted those in my liqueur and in my drinks so I did not strain. If you want a clearer liquid, strain through a fine-mesh strainer and/or a cheesecloth before bottling.
- You can substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste for the vanilla bean
