Apple Ginger Syrup (2 servings) 1/2 cup pure maple syrup 2 Tablespoons apple cider 3 1/8-inch thick slices of fresh ginger Combine all ingredients in a small sturdy saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain out the ginger pieces. Serve warm over pancakes or waffles. Pure maple syrup is very sweet. A little of this goes a long way. This is a nice alternative when your not in the mood for plain old maple syrup. Mr Breakfast would like to thank CornFlake for this recipe. Recipe number 1164. Submitted 1/8/2004.
