My son had friends over for a sleepover. The next morning I made french toast but realized I didnt have any syrup. We tried this and it was a huge hit. My husband did add 1 TBS of butter. We will stop buying store bought syrup. GREAT

Excellent! I doubled the recipe and added 1 cup of white corn syrup, then canned it. Doubled, it made 5 pints plus 6 ounces. The color and consistency were similar to store bought syrup. My husband loved it--likes it WAY more than anything store bought. I thought it tasted fresher, and all round better than Ms. Butterworth's syrup. Real maple syrup isn't in our budget, but it makes me feel a little better I'm now able to make this. A smidge better than regular store bought, even with the corn syrup (if you can it).

It was delicious! We also just used 1 Tbsp butter instead of the butter flavorings and it worked well. Thanks!
