Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of dark corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Once the sugar is dissolved, bring the mixture to a full boil. You will see large bubbles forming around the edges and center.
  4. Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady boil and let it simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool for approximately 15 minutes. This step ensures the flavoring doesn't evaporate too quickly.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of maple flavoring thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  7. Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
  8. Transfer the finished syrup into a clean, airtight glass bottle or jar for storage.
  9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Shake well before each use.
