Spicy Cinnamon Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine sugar, cardamom, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Split vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out seeds; add seeds and beans to sugar mixture with 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring until sugar is dissolved (if it begins to boil, reduce heat -- boiling will make the syrup cloudy). Remove from heat; add cayenne. Let steep 1 hour.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large liquid-measuring cup; discard cardamom pods but reserve cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans. Refrigerate until completely cool, 1 hour. Pour into gift bottles; divide reserved vanilla beans and cinnamon sticks among bottles. Syrup can be stored in bottles, refrigerated, up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, allow the butter to melt slowly over low to medium heat.
• When the butter is completely melted, add the spices and stir well to combine.
• Slowly add the brown sugar and stir well to combine. You may not be able to get the butter and sugar perfectly blended yet; don't panic if this is the case.
• Allow the mixture to come to a slow boil. Let it boil for a minute or two. This will thicken up the syrup and help to blend the butter and sugar better.
• Remove from heat and let the mixture stand for a minute.
• Serve with your choice of desserts and enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, 1 cup water, allspice, cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar is completely melted. Remove from the heat and let steep for 1 hour. Strain into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until cold.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except sugar and ginger in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer, covered, for two hours. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then grate the ginger and stir in. Cover and set aside for at least 12 hours. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a sealable jar and refrigerate.
