I like to include butter in the syrup so I don't need to use extra butter on pancakes as it is already in the syrup ready to pour hot! It is even better if pancakes is not hot enough to melt butter well.

This was a lifesaver this morning. Awesome replacement if you don't have maple syrup. Maybe not quite as good as regular syrup, but still really good.

Delicious - good replacement for maple syrup. I cooked until it got to a thicker consistency. Will add maple flavoring next time.

Sure jumped in there and filled the gap. I use syrup on bottom of large pot for custard. Ran out and was so glad to find this to fill the maple syrup gap. Next time I'll use some maple flavoring also... thanks a bunch. Love it.

Wonderful recipe from Rosie! For those who might like a thicker syrup, reduce heat to medium once mixture comes to a boil and let simmer for a minute or so. I also add a teaspoon of vanilla.

I made french toast sticks today and didn't have enough syrup. I knew there was a way to make syrup with brown sugar so when I saw this one, it hit the nail on the head. Grandsons did not leave a drop. Thanks.
