  1. Thanks Barb, you saved my butt! I promised to make the kids pancakes this morning before I realized that I didn't have enough syrup. It's snowing like crazy and I didn't want to venture out to the store so I searched Recipezaar and found your syrup recipe. It was very good and still warm when we ate it. I put the rest in the fridge for next time. I may not ever buy store syrup again.
     
  2. Very good and super easy! Not as cloyingly sweet as storebought pancake syrups. I reduced the amount of water to 3/4 cup, because I like a thicker pancake syrup. I added a pinch of salt, because I add salt to every sweet thing I make to create a richer flavor. I used 1/4 tsp. butter flavor, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract and a couple drops almond extract to flavor. Yum!
     
  3. YUM! Extra-curricular wonderful syrup, Barb! And so easy to put together. We enjoyed it on homemade waffles this a.m.! I got me a new bran favorite! Thanks for sharing. Laudee
     
  4. It was late, I still had to make dinner and did not want to go to the grocery store. Easy dinner for us is sometime breakfast. I decided to make pancakes and once I had my batter mixed up realized I was very low on syrup. I found this recipe, made sure I had all the ingredients on hand and made it with the hopes it would be edible....I was pleasantly surprised! Simple, easy and delicious. After my husband and kids tasted it they all wanted this syrup and not the little bit that was in the bottle. Since the recipe called for you to put it in the fridge after making it I simply put my pan in a bowl of ice to cool it down and thicken it up. No more store bought for me!
     
  5. I made pancakes this morning feeling pretty awesome using my little griddle thingy like banging out pancakes 5 or 6 at a time only to have my June Cleaver morning come crashing down on me when I discovered that I have no syrup. I tried out this recipe, but a little different. I did one batch the way the recipe called for it except I used 3/4 cup water instead of 1 cup, and I added a pinch of salt as one of the reviews suggested, and I poured half of that into one serving cup and the other half into another one, and I kept one as is. The other one, I added some Strawberry flavoring (I have no idea how much, like I just poured some in there, but I would guess about a teaspoon). The Strawberry one is the winner with the kids, and my Cleaverish mom moment (and it was ONLY a moment) was restored, that was until I attempted to scrub my floor with my kids going bat crazy in the background.

  1. UPDATE__ I added about 3tbs butter to this recipe and it was even better u must try. this was very good syrup, I wanted a thicker syrup so I only added 1/2 cup of water and used maple flavoring instead of vanilla----very yummy thanks

  3. Best homemade syrup recipe ever! I added maple flavoring instead of vanilla but the consistency and flavor of this is much better than others I've tried. Thanks!
     
  4. This is the first time I have made syrup but decided to try since maple syrup is so expensive. I used honey instead of corn syrup so that it is healthier. I used a light tasting honey but I can still taste it. It turned out very sweet but I am not sure if that is because of using the honey. I will give it a try tomorrow and let my kids be the final judge. I think I may add a bit of earth balance to cut down the sweetness. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. yuuum! i didnt think you could make it yourself! i used rice syrup instead of corn syrup, and agave nectar instead of brown sugar - which actually has a bit of a scent to it. i had it with the basic pancake recipe which was also on this site, and the rest i keep in the fridge and sneak a bit when i feel like a bit of sugar! mmmmm

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
