Pumpkin. Pumpkin. Pumpkin.
It is that time of year again. The time of year of leaves falling, kids back to school, sweaters in all the stores, and pumpkin lattes at Starbucks.
I was in quite the pumpkin spirit this week so not only are you getting a recipe for pumpkin spice syrup , I made pumpkin butter and crustless gluten free pumpkin pies. Did you know you can bake individual pumpkin pies in glass canning jars?
I am not a coffee drinker but I am an avid tea drinker who loves pumpkin. I used to drink a lot of unsweetened earl grey tea lattes, however in recent years the price of a tea latte has doubled and that I have a real hard time with.
So what to do?
Spend $5.00 on a tea with milk? Spend $5.25 on a pumpkin spice steamed milk?
Today my answer is no!
I was surprised to see a lot of recipes online for pumpkin spice syrup and thought, of course, I should just make my own. I have a Breville Milk Frother that I adore. It heats up and froths milk for me – thus allowing me to make my own lattes at home and now I can make Chai tea lattes with pumpkin spice syrup.
Yum!
This was my first go around and I will work on cutting back on the sugar. However, this did make a full 500 ml jar of syrup which for me, makes a lot of lattes.

The 2nd pumpkin recipe I made was a pumpkin butter. The uses for this butter is endless. How about as a spread on toast? A topping for a warm oatmeal muffin?
Gooey goodness on pumpkin pancakes? On a scone?

This recipe is also really easy, so why not make it also while you have a can of pumpkin open?

I am a fan of canning jars for they come with lids and offer a variety of shapes and sizes. Plus you are using less plastic in your home.
This morning I made pumpkin pancakes and topped the pancakes with pumpkin butter and warm and spicy apples.

My third recipe today is for Gluten Free Dairy Free Crustless Pumpkin Pie. I actually made individual pies in glass canning jars and am thrilled with the results. It is really nice option to make the pie crustless for there is no stress than, for the perfect pie crust. And really, don’t most people just want the pumpkin?
This recipe is also dairy free for a lot of my family cannot handle dairy anymore.

I used organic canned pumpkin for these recipes because it is too early in the season here in Calgary for pumpkins. I know they will be available at the farmers market soon and you can use roasted sugar pie pumpkins for all these recipes.
Welcome fall!
