Maple Syrup

I make my own Maple Syrup and figured I would share the recipe with you all. Sorry for no picture - just imagine the thick brown liquid streaming over some hot pancakes...mmm....YUM!! (I think we may have pancakes for lunch, now that I'm thinking about it!) I got this recipe from my roommate in college - I think it was her mom's recipe. It's been good for us, hope you enjoy!!

Homemade Maple Syrup

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• Butter
• Vanilla
  

--Heat until boiling.
--Let boil 4 minutes. DO NOT STIR!!
--Take off heat and add butter and vanilla to taste. (I do about a T of butter and 1-2 t of vanilla)

I usually double or triple this. If you triple it, it fits into a normal syrup container quite well.
