How To Make Homemade Pancake Syrup For Pennies

Thank you so much for all the advice on making homemade syrup! My mother used to make some for me when I was little; however, was never able to learn how to do it myself. I was unaware how easy it is to make — that is crazy! Sure looks delicious! Thanks again!

Why not use real maple syrup? It’s not good to eat a lot of sugar; we know this now. Beyond any doubt we know the deleterious effects of sugar.

Given that, why not use real maple sugar – and use it less frequently, and enjoy it when you do use it?

Imitation maple syrup, whether the toxic stuff you get in a store made with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or this slightly better version, made with sugar, doesn’t hold a candle to real maple syrup.

I know some folks grew up with the artificial version and prefer it. For those people, sure use it but again use it in extreme moderation. Once every few weeks on a day where you don’t eat a lot of other sugar, enjoy it.

Eating well and enjoying your food do not have to be at odds. Eating healthily means nothing is “forbidden” – don’t go on a diet, don’t exclude – eat good things when you can, and eat things that are known to be damaging less frequently but without guilt.

Certainly don’t feed this to kids on any consistent basis.

Not sure if I have seen it on this site, but you can make your own brown sugar, too. Easy to do in a blender or food processor. I’ve even mixed a small amount in a cup with a spoon for cereal. Just add enough molasses to white sugar to get the color you want. how do they justify the difference in price for such a small addition?

My mom made it a lot when I was growing up – she used 1 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup water, brought to boil and added Mapleine – she usually made just enough for the meal and then added some butter while it was hot – it was so good. It was just simple syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water) I can still taste it. That Mapleine is wonderful stuff.

My mother used to make a honey flavored syrup that tasted so much like Dixie Dew syrup (which I have not seen in the market in years). I cannot remember how she made it, nor can I find a recipe, but I would appreciate any help.

Can I assume the mapleine can be substituted for other flavors? Any recommendations around what to use or how to alter for blueberry or boysenberry which are our family favorites?

My mom made this and now I do. I’ve never used brown sugar though. We just followed the recipe on the box of Mapeline. I’ll have to try it with this recipe. My kids won’t eat the store syrup now.

Thanks, sounds like a winner
