Preserve It . . . Canning Corner - Syrup!

This is a new one for me...

Bottled MAPLE Syrup!

I've canned plum and choke cherry syrup,

but I've never canned Maple Syrup before now.

Many pancake syrups can be home-canned.

I was so excited to find out that

I can bottle my own Maple Syrup.

I usually avoid canning anything with dairy products

included in the recipe...still too many questions on the safety

of that, but fruit and maple....they'll work perfectly!

The best part...

It costs about .25 cents per jar to make!

AWWWW-SOME!

Here's the 1st Recipe:

1 cup Sugar

1 cup Water

2 Tbsp. Karo Syrup

(This will keep the syrup from turning grainy over time.)

1 tsp. Maple Flavoring

Syrup Instructions:

Bring the sugar and water to a boil.

Add maple flavoring and stir.

Syrup will be poured into the jars at the boiling point!

Here's the 2nd Recipe:

(This recipe makes a little thicker syrup.)

2 cups Sugar

1 cup Water

2 Tbsp. Karo Syrup

1/2 tsp. Maple Flavoring

Syrup Instructions:

Bring the sugar and water to a boil.

Add maple flavoring and stir.

Here's the 3rd Recipe:

(It's got a touch of CINNAMON!)

1 cup White Sugar

1 cup Soft Light Brown Sugar, Packed

1 cup Corn Syrup

1 cup Water

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Cinnamon Stick, (broken in half)

Syrup Instructions:

Put all the ingredients into a large saucepan.

Bring to a boil and then simmer gently for 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and CAREFULLY remove

the cinnamon stick and pour into clean sterilized jars.

Follow canning directions from here!

Canning Instructions:

If you are going to can pancake syrup,

you will need to bring the syrup to a boiling point

and then pour into clean sterilized jars

leaving about a 1/2-inch head space.

Wipe the rims of the jars to make sure that

they are clean and ready for the new, hot lids.

Simmer lids before putting them on the bottles of hot syrup.

Caution:

When you are working with hot liquids...be very careful!

I usually keep oven mits handy when I'm canning.

Place filled jars into a boiling waterbath canner.

Process PINTS for 7 minutes.

Start timing when the water returns to a boil.

Remove jars from canner and cool on a wire rack.

Note:

The recipes listed above are for a regular batch of syrup.

For canning . . . Make sure you 3,4,or 7 times the recipe!

Now you're ready for some of these...
