Homemade Syrup for Pancakes and Waffles

Ever wonder how hard it could be to make syrup? I did after realizing all the awful ingredients that commercial syrups contain, plus the price is outrageous! I searched old cookbooks and tweaked a little and came up with this one, hope you love it as much as we do!

Homemade Syrup

2 cups sucanat (or sugar)

3/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon maple flavoring (vanilla works too)

Combine everything in a saucepan and heat on low until the sugar is all melted. At this point the syrup will be thin but tastes good. If you like your syrup thicker and un-warmed, make it in advance and store it in the fridge in a canning jar or other glass jar with a lid. I usually make a double batch and it fits nicely in a quart jar.

Wasn't that easy? Now you never need to buy syrup and wonder whats in it again :)
