14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

In a small pot, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

Once the simple syrup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low to prevent burning or over-reducing.

Continue stirring the mixture over low heat for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce is smooth and slightly warmed through.

Remove the pot from heat and allow the pumpkin spice sauce to cool completely. Transfer to a glass jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
