Pumpkin spice syrup

Some of you may know about my love for Starbucks' pumpkin spice lattes.  I count the days down until their arrival in September, and I consume a large amount of them until the stores run out of syrup and tell me no more.  Well, here's a solution for having pumpkin spice lattes in the comfort of your own home, and it's available year-round-- make your own pumpkin spice syrup!  I tried a recipe last year that was just so-so, but was committed to finding a better version this year.  And I found it via Pinterest, from Baker Girl's blog.  This syrup is perfect, please try it.  I make it with half-Splenda, half sugar to make it a little more calorie conscious...  you know, so I can pile on the whip cream without any guilt!!

(Oh, and it's a great way to use the rest of that can of pumpkin from the chocolate chip bread you should be making!).
