Frugal Homemade Pancake Syrup

With a family of 6, I am always looking for ideas to save money on my grocery bill.  A few months ago, I found this recipe online for homemade pancake syrup and thought, I just have to try that!  I ran out the other day and remembered that recipe and decided to give it a try.  All I did was fill the old pancake syrup bottle up.  Nobody even noticed. It is a super easy recipe to make and I had all of the ingredients on hand! Here is the recipe. Enjoy!

Frugal Homemade Maple Syrup

• 4 cups white sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 cups water
• 2 teaspoons maple flavoring (or vanilla)

Mix the water and sugars in a pot and simmer for 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in the flavoring.  Cool and pour into container.  You do not need to refrigerate the syrup.
