becoming jemima.



so yesterday i made pancake syrup from scratch.  I have wanted to try it for a while now since I heard it was really easy to make, and a lot more cost effective than buying syrup.  I like the pure maple syrup but brenner prefers aunt jemima.  so I decided to take on aunt jemima and make my own syrup.  here is the recipe that I followed:

1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp maple extract

mix all of the ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil.  Then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. 

the recipe said that this would produce a nice think syrup.  our did not get nice and thick, even after letting it simmer for a little longer than it recommended.  so while the flavor was not bad, it was not thick like the aunt’s.  next time I make it I will try to add a little less water and let it boil for a minute or so before reducing the heat to see if that will thicken it a little.  but all in all, it was a success.  If you can get it to thicken up, let me know!
