Simple recipe, but you do need maple flavoring from the states. It comes in a small bottle and is usually found in the baking aisle with the vanilla and almond extracts. Have someone stick a couple in your next package!
Make Your Own Maple Syrup
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar (you can totally use homemade brown sugar!)
1 c. water
1/2 t. maple flavor, or more, as you like
1 t. vanilla extract
Combine the sugars and water in a sauce pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the syrup coats the back of a wooden spoon. Be careful, it will thicken as it cools, so you don't want to wait too long and get it too thick in the pot. If it's not getting thick enough, add 1/4 c. more brown sugar at a time. Turn the gas off, and add the maple and vanilla, give it a good stir. You're done! :) I usually do this as I'm cooking pancakes, because I never plan ahead. : )
