Canned Maple Syrup

I recently bought a bunch of maple syrup extract off of amazon.com and found a recipe for canning maple syrup.  It's so easy and one little bottle of extract makes a ton of syrup.  Of course you could just stock up on the store brands, but regardless, here's a recipe for those interested.

 

Maple Syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 T corn syrup
1 t maple extract
Bring sugar, water and corn syrup to a boil.  Add extract.  Pour into sterilized jars and wipe edges.  Place lids on and process pints in a water bath for 7 minutes.  (I actually did not process my jars.  I turned them over, over a sink (sometimes the syrup runs out and is hot) and then turn the jar right side up.  The syrup is so hot that as it cools it seals the lid.)  You can decide what is best for you.

For thicker syrup, follow the same directions only use 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 t extract.
