Don’t let a yummy pancake or french toast breakfast be foiled when you’re out of syrup! Here’s a simple recipe for maple flavored syrup that only takes minutes to make. Perhaps the best part is if you leave it alone for a few weeks, it’ll start sprouting rock candy. Cracking open an old syrup bottle for the rock candy is a favorite childhood memory of mine (I’m not ashamed to admit I love sugar).
