I love real grade B maple syrup. Even just a teaspoon perks up the lowliest oatmeal, and the minerals in the syrup are prevalent. But it's expensive! Even buying it at Trader Joe's, I pay $16 for 32 ounces. I know that's a steal compared to many parts of the country, but I still was looking for an alternative liquid syrup that I could use on pancakes. Also I wanted to have a ‘real food alternative' to white sugar for guests' coffee and other drinks.
And I found it! An inexpensive alternative to maple syrup… Rapadura simple syrup! And it's very easy to make.
