Making Pancake/Waffle Syrup at Home

I found the following recipe on FB. It is from Jonnie McCoy’s book: Miserly Moms Living Well on Less in a Tough Economy.

2 cups sugar
1 Cup water
1 tsp mapel extract 

Bring the water and sugar to a slow boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat before it comes to a boil. Add the maple extract. Store in the refrigerator.

If you like it thicker, replace half the water with Karo syrup.

There is a HUGE difference in expense.
