Pumpkin Liqueur

1. 1

   Place pumpkin juice into a medium saucepan, add ginger, cloves, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks. Reduce pumpkin juice by half till you have 2 cups concentrated spice juice.

2. 2

   Remove the cinnamon sticks and strain the juice through a coffee filter that has been placed in a filter holder or mesh strainer. You can strain it through a cheese cloth. This will take a while.

   Rinse out the pan to remove the spice residue. Pour the reduced and strained juice back into it and add sugars.
