Bring all ingredients to a boil. Once the sugar is dissolved the syrup is ready to serve.

You can also store this and serve corld or at room temperature like store-bought syrup.


I serve this to my kids if we run out of maple syrup from the store. They love it.

You have no clue how much a bottle of syrup costs in Germany... it's ridiculous! Around 5 Euros! That's why I will make my own syrup in the future! Thank you for the recipe. My hubby and the kids will love it! A big hello from Heidelberg, Germany ;-)

I ran out of maple syrup and looked up this recipe. I am so hooked. This is delish. I tried it on hot water cornbread. Mmm.

Great recipe!! But I think I did something wrong because it eventually started to harden like caramel. Any advice?

I love this recipe. Since I will only buy real maple syrup, it gets expensive with four kids. My kids love this and it saves me a ton of money. I also add a touch of vanilla.

Great on the pancakes we made with butterscotch chips in them. For that recipe, it was definitely a better topping than maple syrup would have been... although I also LOVE maple syrup.

This is really good. It made pancakes taste like sticky buns. I might try adding cinnamon next time, but it's really worth a try making it exactly like it says. Thanks Rosie!

Thanks. Made this with freshly ground cinnamon. Turned out great. For Christmas, I am going to make it and put a whole cinnamon stick in it for looks and taste and then give it out in pretty jars. Thanks for the recipe!

This is my 1st time making this... So I just researched how to make maple syrup with brown sugar because I ran out and I'm only a teenager so I don't have a car yet... and it turns out this recipe is awesome it's even better than regular syrup it doesn't taste 2 sweet.

Maple syrup prices just keep going up, up, up up! This is a great alternative.

I love this stuff. Made it this morning from childhood memories. Mom fixed this whenever we had pancakes. We couldn't afford maple syrup in my house in the 50s/60s. Being a bit broke this summer I reverted to my childhood to help make ends meet. My efforts didn't turn out so sell this AM, thus I checked for recipes. Seems I forgot to add butter. Makes a big difference. Other than that. Had forgotten how good it tastes.

From NathanRedshield

The brown sugar and water proportions are the same as the ones my mother used to make the syrup I was brought up on; no other ingredients. Have a suspicion it is an Upper Ohio Valley thing dating back to the upriver movement of sugar/molasses in steamboat days. I boil the mixture for at least 5 but not more than 8 minutes. Much more tasty than maple syrup.
