My Mom has always made this syrup, and I love it. Now my kids are hooked on it too. I use it my Cinnamon Rolls and it works great! Its so easy to make a batch.

I had a Tupperware syrup container that Dannie gave me when I got married. One day it got dropped and broke. I contacted a Tupperware lady and she was sorry to tell me she didn't have a replacement, but she had a bigger one I could have! Okay! Ha ha!

Donna's Maple Syrup
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. maple extract

Pour boiling water over the sugars. Stir until dissolved. Add vanilla and maple extracts and stir to combine.

Now for some pictures from 2013! Slather some Peanut Butter on Chocolate/Chocolate Chip pancakes, and add some maple syrup, whipped cream and MORE chocolate chips, and you'll start to imagine why Jason has pre-diabetes... But you'll also wonder why my family is so skinny.









Does your brown sugar ever get hard and sandy? You need a brown sugar bear! You soak it in water for an hour or so, then pat it dry with a paper towel. Then insert it in your brown sugar container and it stays nice and soft. I have to re-soak the brown sugar bear every so often.
