And to everyone esle, thanks for your replies! :)

Answer 1

Add maple flavoring, butter flavoring to a jug of Karo light syrup.

Answer 2

You can not make maple syrup without using maple sap. That is why it is called MAPLE syrup. The other stuff is nothing more than sugar and water. Even if you add flavouring it will never be as good as the real thing. The best kind of course comes from Canada, particularly from Ontario, or Quebec, or the Maritimes. ( New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia) Nothing compares to the real thing!

Answer 3

1.

4 cups white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons butter flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons burnt sugar flavoring
1 1/2 teaspoons maple flavoring

Place all but maple flavoring in a medium saucepan, start to cook over medium heat but, turn temperature down just when it reaches a boil.
Simmer just 10 minutes and remove from heat.
Cool slightly and add maple flavoring.
Once cool enough, place in an old syrup bottle, Mrs.
Butterworths size works really well.
