If I had to choose just one thing that evokes autumn, I'd definitely choose squash. With its comforting flavor, varied shapes and distinctive colors, it perfectly embodies the sweetness that characterizes this time of year. I'm used to eating it in soup, and I wanted to try a slightly different version this time. This deliciously sweet and spicy pumpkin syrup is perfect for flavoring all kinds of hot or cold drinks, porridge, pancakes or even ice cream. In short, here's the perfect recipe to add a touch of autumn to any occasion.
