Description

Perfect for cozying up on a fall day or serving at a festive gathering, this juice can be enjoyed chilled over ice or warmly heated for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Ingredients

  • 8 cups apple cider (64 ounces)
  • 2 cups apricot, peach, or pear nectar (16 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Solid Ingredients and Spices

  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree (a little less than 2 cups if using homemade pumpkin puree)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground allspice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the apple cider, pumpkin puree, apricot (or peach/pear) nectar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground allspice. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat to Boil: Heat the mixture just until it starts to boil. This ensures the flavors begin to meld without overcooking the pumpkin puree.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the pumpkin juice simmer gently for 10-15 minutes. This allows the spices to infuse deeply into the juice.
  4. Add Vanilla and Cool: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pumpkin juice to cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Chill or Reheat to Serve: After cooling, chill the juice in the refrigerator for about 4 hours before serving. Serve over ice for a refreshing chilled beverage, or gently reheat if you prefer it warm.

Notes

  • Use homemade pumpkin puree for a fresher taste or canned pumpkin puree for convenience.
  • Apricot, peach, or pear nectar can be used interchangeably depending on your flavor preference.
  • Adjust brown sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet beverage.
  • If serving warm, reheat gently to avoid boiling which could alter the flavor.
  • Store any leftover pumpkin juice in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
