Homemade Pancake Syrup
Yes, I make my own syrup, and you should too.

Boil for about 10 minutes or until it's reduced slightly. (It will continue to thicken as it cools.)

Love this recipe! In fact, I am making my second batch right now. However the last time I made it there was about 2 inches of the hardest crystalized sugar ever on the bottom of the jar. Heating it wouldn't get rid of it and I am having a hard time scraping it out so I can put the new syrup in the jar. Do you have any idea what I did wrong?
ReplyDeleteSummer,
DeleteI'll occasionally get a little bit of crystallization if I don't use it for awhile, but we usually use it up enough that it doesn't have time to do that. I'm not sure why 2 inches of crystalizes would have formed. Unless you made another batch and poured on top of the other with out cleaning the container in between? That is my only guess. I store mine in a glass mason jar. When we go to reheat it I'll put it in a shallow pot of water on a low flame (with the lid off) and let it slowly warm up while I'm making the rest of our breakfast. I'm thinking the crystals might melt if you try that. :)
We use ours up right away so it doesn't happen but my syrup top stays stuck together to the bottom, so I put it in the dishwasher like that and when the load is done I can wash it then. So try that if needed. :)
DeleteI think if you boil it too long it will crystalize in the jar. Try soaking it in baking soda and vinegar. That should get it out.
