Homemade Pancake Syrup

So in our effort to evict High Fructose Corn Syrup from our house we started buying Real Maple Syrup. Honestly folks...I didn't know there was any other choice other than Mrs. Butterworth's. Real maple syrup?? What do you mean real?? What was I buying and eating that wasn't real?? Seriously I had no clue. Just in case you don't know yet...what you're pouring over your fluffy pancakes is colored high fructose corn syrup. Gross right?? I thought so too. So anyways...we stared buying 12oz Real Maple Syrup at Trader Joe's for 6or 7bucks. This is quite a jump after only spending $2-$3 for twice as much. So this is what I'm doing now...

Boil 1 Cup Water
Add 2 Cups Organic or Unprocessed Sugar*
1Tbsp Molasses
1Tbsp Real Vanilla Extract 
Wisk until sugar is fully dissolved over med/high heat

And there you have it...2 cups of pancake syrup you can proudly feed your family {Grin} and it won't put a dent in your food budget.

*If you are used to Real Maple Syrup's thinner consistency then follow the recipe. If you want something thicker you can add an extra cup of sugar and an extra Tbsp molasses.
