This may not sound like we are health food junkies and I don't claim to be. I like to take shortcuts. Who doesn't? My confession...I buy frozen waffles...All the time. I love the chocolate chip ones, of course I do.
My tip for today...make your own syrup. It is soooooo easy. And it tastes so good, even my kids like it.
No, I don't tap my maple trees and all of that. I wish I could, but then where is the shortcut there.
What do I do, you ask? Well for starters, I bought a small bottle of maple flavoring. You can find it where you buy vanilla extract. On the back of the box are two recipes. I use the one with sugar, not because I am afraid of corn syrup but because I like my syrup to be thin and the corn syrup one says it will be thick.
Here is the recipe....
Pour one cup boiling water over two cups sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon maple flavor and stir. Makes 2 1/4 cups. EASY!!!
I make it in a quart mason jar.
Until next time, stay blessed.
