Imitation Maple Syrup - 2 points

This is what you serve my nephew to make him a happy breakfast eater:

Since I make my own syrup, I like to experiment with different recipes. This one, because of the Karo syrup, was extra thick. I think I would be even more delicious with Golden Syrup.

Imitation Maple Syrup from The Newcomer's Guide to Cooking in Africa
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 cup karo syrup
3/4 tsp maple flavoring

1. Mix sugar and water and bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes; making sure sugar is completely disolved.
2. Remove from heat; stir in Karo syrup and maple flavoring.
3. 2 points per 2 tbsp


It is time for me to get back in the kitchen. I need to make some banana cookies to take to an ailing friend. Nothing says, "I love you" and "Get well" like baked goods.

    This imitation maple syrup recipe is good as it will come handy when the real maple syrup is not available.
