The maple frosting also works great as a back-rub/massage oil when you've got a romantic friend over too, mama! Hee-Hee!

Hi guys,

Just joined the forum and I'm so sad I missed this thread! I'm the owner of maplesyrupworld dot com and we LOVE maple syrup, like we drink it straight out of the bottle!

We got tons of recipe and loads of pancake recipes.

Anyway, surely there will be more talk of maple syrup and we can contribute!

Cheers,

Richard

Welcome Mister Richard, hope you enjoy!

Thank you!

Guys! Honestly, I've been trying to make a maple syrup but the problem is, I really don't know what the ingredients. I tried to make using a regular sugar to make a syrup (lol), but when it got cold, it hardens. What makes the maple syrup saucy?

 

[Richard_2010]

To make maple syrup, you need fresh maple sap. Boil it and then you'll get maple syrup!

Best way!

 

[HeadChef]

Does it still needs water, sugar, etc..?

 

[Johnny West]

Cup of water
Cup of brown sugar
Cup of white sugar
Tsp. of imitation maple flavoring

Boil till sugar is dissolved....

 

[HeadChef]

Thanks for the tip Johnny. I'll let you know if I made it perfectly.

 

[Johnny West]

It's easy to do, is good, and is not near as expensive as store bought.
I use an empty 360 vodka bottle to store it in the ice box.

 

[HeadChef]

I would try it, still busy for my work. May I know how is the shelf life of this? Thanks!!!

It keeps forever in the icebox. We use it up pretty fast when making flap jacks for the family.

How long does sugar keep?

 

[Mama Mangia]

Sugar, properly stored, has an indefinite shelf life because it does not support microbial growth.

 

[HeadChef]

Really? I don't know about this, atleast I have known it that, it does have a long shelf life. I will try to make this coming weekend and see what will be the outcome. Thanks!

 

[Mama Mangia]

You're welcomed! Now you can stock up on it when it is on sale!

Not yet, I will be making this weekend. I'll take the advice of Mama while it is on sale but, i won't stock much yet unless it would be a success.
