Why not make your own syrup?

Finding a recipe to make my own syrup was actually more of a hunt than I expected, but it was worth it. Changing syrup is always kind of a hard change, at least it has been for me. By the second morning with this recipe I was in love. And the good news is: No HFCS. Our family loves this syrup and it comes together really fast. I found it on Amy's Finer Things in Life. Thanks Amy!


Homemade Maple Syrup

1 3/4 c. white sugar

1/4 c. brown sugar

1 c. water

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. maple flavoring

Combine sugars and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook 1 minute. Cool slightly. Add vanilla and maple flavoring. Cover for a few minutes to thicken.

I occasionally throw some (3c) sugar, (1c) water mixed with blueberry juice, and do a fruity varriation for french toast.
