Sweet pumpkins are my favorites for creating sauces, syrups, and purees... This type of pumpkin is the perfect variety to choose when used as a cooked puree to sauces, but even better when it's made into a simple syrup for coffee and cocktails.
If you've never worked with one before, sweet pumpkins (aka sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins) are physically round and much smaller than field pumpkins. Inside, their dense, squash-like flesh tastes rich, buttery, and mildly sweet, making it both easy to work with and packed with flavor.
To transform that raw sugar pumpkin into a seasonal syrup, add a couple of tablespoons of sweet pumpkin puree with sugar, water, and pumpkin pie spice into a small saucepan. Set over medium high heat and stir. Allow the mixture to come to a boil and then turn off the heat.
