Homemade maple syrup? What in the world do you need that for, when you could buy equally-not-real-maple-syrup from the store for 5 bucks? Well my friends, let me explain: homemade pancake syrup is absolutely delicious. The ingredients for this recipe are in your pantry at all times. It's cheap. It's fast. It lasts forever tucked away in the back of the fridge. There are no weirdo ingredients. AND it will maybe make you feel a little bit like Suzy homemaker. Be sure to wear your frilliest apron.
