I have made a lot of syrup in my lifetime and this was the best of all. It had a very good flavor and very easy to make. Will continue to make it.

Made this to go with pancakes and split the recipe to see if maple flavoring or vanilla was better. We enjoyed them both equally. Great inexpensive alternative to maple syrup, and no ukky high fructose corn syrup found in imitation products. By the way, a pound of brown sugar is closer to 2 1/4 cups. Thanks for sharing!

Made this syrup this morning to go with Ellen Brody's pancake recipe and it was a hit. I added about a teaspoon each of butter and vanilla and it was excellent. FYI this does have a thinner consistency, more like that of real maple syrup. Thanks, Chuck! It's a keeper!
