Ingredients

  • 2 oz roasted butternut pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 1/2 oz extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to serve
  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 sage leaf
  • 1/2 oz caster sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine pumpkin, maple syrup, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sage in a small roasting pan lined with baking paper.

  4. Transfer pumpkin mixture to a food processor and puree.
  5. Place sugar and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool completely.
