I know in the Philippines maple syrup is not always available and so I asked for a substitute for it. Here’s an easy substitute for maple syrup.
you will need...
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon maple extract (or vanilla extract)
1 teaspoon butter
1 cup boiling water
here is how....
Place the granulated sugar in a heavy skillet. Heat until the sugar melts and turns brown (keep the heat very low so the sugar doesn’t burn). Meanwhile, place the brown sugar into a heavy saucepan. Pour water over the brown sugar and bring to a boil (without stirring). Add the caramelized white sugar to the melted brown sugar in the saucepan. Simmer, stirring often, until the syrup has thickened. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter and maple/vanilla extract.
This makes about 1 cup.
