Title: Imitation Maple Syrup
Post by: achookwoman on February 14, 2013, 07:05:46 am
Mum used to make this,  and we thought it was the real thing.  Of course after the war,  you couldn't buy many things,  so people made do.  Many years later when I found the real Canadian Maple Syrup,  I understood how clever Mum was.  This recipe, made in the TMX is as close as I can remember it.  You may wish to adapt the various components to suit your taste.

250g.  Honey,  ( I used yellow Box)
200g.  Golden Syrup
1 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract.
1 Dessertspoon of Cornflour mixed in 1/2 cup of water
1Tablespoon of lemon juice
a pinch of both Cinnamon and salt.

Weigh and measure all ingredients into TMX bowl.
Zap to combine.
Cook 100o /15 minutes /speed 2.

Taste and adjust as need be.  The flavor of the honey can make a big difference to the end result.

Clever recipe Chookie, good old Mum - I have never heard of people making their own maple syrup, in fact it was never something I ever had at home as a kid.

Let's hope the tradition passes on down to your grandchildren then Chookie - you work pretty hard at it to make sure it happens.

Wow.  I will try making some of this for our regular Sunday pancakes.
Che loves his maple Syrup and Golden Syrup (He calls it pancake jam)
I think this would be another regular topping as he loves honey and lemon as well.

Brumington,  the reason i thought i would have a go at making this is the GC can empty a $10 bottle on their pancakes for morning tea. So i know where you are coming from.

Rosie,  we had this on waffles with Ice cream for dinner tonight. Delish.

I've not seen this before either, and very excited about trying it - DH loves the stuff, and I never ever buy it.  Not sure what NZ honey type I will try, but I'm sure the kids will take care of any attempts anyway  ;D

Thanks!
