Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 420. Sliced open and remove the seeds from the pumpkin. Slice into quarters. Place in oven and cook 20 minutes or so till a knife easily pierces the meat and they are soft. Remove and cool for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Using a spoon remove the cooled cooked pumpkin meat and then with a blender, food processor or just a nice chef knife puree or mash.

3. 3

   Add the pureed pumpkin meat to a pan with all the following ingredients except the vodka. Summer for 35-40 minutes.

4. 4

   Using a strainer push the mixture through using the back of a spoon to get all of it except the spices extracted.

5. 5

   Rinse the strainer and line with cheese cloth, slowly pour the thick liquid through. As the pulp begins to cover the bottom pull aside with a spoon and continue to pour till the whole mixture is through. You should end up with approximately. 400ML

6. 6

   Set aside to let cool, at least 30 minutes. The puree on left in the strainer can be used for tarts, dessert ravioli filling or baking (its delicious!)

7. 7

   Add an equal amount of vodka to your cooled pumpkin syrup. Store in air tight containers for at least 2 days in a cool dark place. Share!
