I get the pretend maple syrup. You know the cheap stuff. I believe it is $1.49 at Aldi. I dislike the real thing. Yuck! Anyway, we are having breakfast for dinner and I am making my own homemade strawberry pancake syrup.
Strawberry syrup recipe
If this works out I plan to make my own syrup from now on. I will buy the maple flavoring and make my own artificial maple syrup. It should cost pennies to make and be a bit healthier than the stuff I buy. My girls would eat waffles and pancakes every day if I would let them so we go through a lot of syrup.
cooking the syrup
I changed the recipe a bit. I only added 1/2 cup of sugar and add 1/2 package of strawberry flavored jello (mostly for color but a little for sweetness too). It seemed a bit too thin so I added a 1/4 tsp of cornstarch to 1 tbsp water and stirred it into the syrup mix. I strained out the leftover strawberry mash and we are putting that over angel food cake for dessert tommorrow!
