Equipment
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Maple Extract
Instructions
- Dissolve the sugars. Place the water, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Let it continue to cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the flavoring. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the maple extract. As it cools it will begin to thicken.
Notes
- Cook the syrup on low heat: Cooking the syrup on low heat can help prevent it from burning or becoming too thick.
- Stir the syrup regularly: Stirring the syrup regularly can help prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning
- Add the maple extract at the end: Adding the maple flavoring at the end of the cooking process can help preserve its flavor and aroma. Don't have or can't find maple extract? Try some Maple Extract Substitutes.
Storage Information
To store homemade maple syrup, you should first let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight container with a secure lid, such as a glass jar or plastic bottle. Store the container in the refrigerator to keep the syrup fresh for as long as possible. Properly stored, homemade maple syrup can last for several weeks in the refrigerator. When using the syrup, be sure to give it a good stir or shake before pouring, as it may have separated or thickened during storage.Nutrition
