Anna's favorite pose while stirring the sugar with a heat proof spoon.
Have you ever wondered how to make homemade syrup? Well here is your answer. This recipe has only a couple ingredients and a few simple steps.
When my family was camping with friends, pancakes were made for breakfast and one of the families had homemade syrup. It was so good, and easy to make. My dad asked for the recipe and she gave it to us. We have been making it ever since.
One of the reasons why I like this recipe is because the mapleine you use in it costs about the same as one bottle of store bought syrup. My family hasn’t bought syrup since we received this recipe.
This is fast and easy to make. You might be surprised how quick this is, so don’t walk away when you are cooking.
Ingredients:
2 cups of sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon mapleine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Some people always measure, Anna like to eyeball it. Once you make it a few times, you can adjust how you like it. Playing around with recipes is part of the fun.
Bring water to a gentle boil
Add sugar and stir until dissolved and water is clear
Remove from heat
Add mapleine and vanilla
Let cool and put in container for storage
Eat, love and enjoy with a breakfast
You can adjust the flavors as you like. I don’t measure with measuring spoons anymore; I like to gauge using the cap.
The ratio of sugar to water is important and can’t be adjusted much. Too much water and the syrup is too thin, too much sugar and it will crystallize when cool. To fix that, just heat it up again and add some more water.
