Ingredients
- Water - 17 fl oz
- Sugar - 8.8 oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, pour in the water, add the sugar, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanillin, and vanilla beans, whisk everything together lightly, return to heat, and bring to a boil again.
Step 2
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture develops a rich aroma — about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, prepare everything for straining the pumpkin liqueur. Take a piece of cheesecloth about 30x30 cm, and cover the saucepan with it. Pour the liqueur mixture directly onto the cheesecloth and wait a moment for it to strain.
Step 4
Carefully, using a rubber spatula, you can gently press down on the pumpkin mixture to release any remaining liquid. After this, the contents of the filter can be discarded. You should have about 2 cups of pumpkin liquid.
Step 5
Finally, add the rum, and mix everything well once more. Pour the liqueur into a liter jar or bottle and set aside to cool to room temperature — about 1 hour.
Step 6
Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 2 days to 3 months.
