Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into tablespoons
- 1 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1/16 teaspoon salt optional
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 up to 1-1/2 teaspoons pure maple extract see note 1
Instructions
- Add the butter, sugar, salt, and water to a medium pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally. Once boiling, cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Notes
Note 1: Maple extract can be found with other baking extracts. I recommend McCormick’s® pure maple extract for the best flavor. Taste and adjust the amount depending on the brand.
Storage: Let syrup cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1–2 months.
