Homemade Maple Syrup

Homemade Maple Syrup

****

After running out of syrup on a morning we were having waffles I found this quick recipe using just 4 ingredients and only takes 10 minutes to make! We don't buy syrup from the store anymore!

INGREDIENTS:
1 c. water

1 c. white sugar

1 c. brown sugar (2 c. if you like a thicker syrup)

1 Tbsp. maple flavored extract (the maple flavor is strong, you can use less if you don't like it)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring the water, and both sugars to a boil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and stir in the maple extract; simmer 3 min longer.

**1 c. of brown makes a pretty thin syrup, make it thicker by adding more brown, I use between 1 1/2 - 2 cups**

**The maple flavor is strong, I use a little less than a Tbsp of flavoring but we don't add very much syrup. If you like a lot of syrup, I'd cut back on the maple**

**As in all syrups, this gets STICKY! Make sure you store in a glass container**

Top on your waffles, pancakes or hootenanny!

ENJOY!
