Fooled-You Maple Spread

No maple syrup in this one! I have not made this, but got the recipe from a friend who had it at her MIL's home. She had it with muffins and said it was fantastic.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 1 jar

Ingredients

• 2  cups  packed brown sugar
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1  cup milk
• 2  tablespoons  soft butter or 2  tablespoons margarine (real butter is best)
• 1  teaspoon  maple extract

Directions

1. In a saucpan, stir together brown sugar, flour, milk and butter.
2. Turn heat to low and cook, stirring often, until mixture is lump-free and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in maple extract.
4. Place in a bowl or jar and refrigerate until serving; after it is chilled you can bring it to room temperature if you wish, to make spreading easier.
