SF MAPLE SYRUP
Easy Peasy Maple Syrup
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C sweetener (I used granulated xylitol)
2 T butter or ghee
3/4 C water
1 1/2 T maple extract
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
Pinch of salt (if necessary--taste first)
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it's completely melted and bubbling.
2. Add in water, sweetener and maple extract and stir well. Allow mixture to boil over medium heat for about 15 minutes until it started to thicken. If you used butter, you have the option of removing the milk solids (they'll look like little brown specks) with a spoon if you want. They float right up to the top of the bubbling liquid and you can simply scoop them off.
3. Sprinkle (do not dump) the xanthan gum over the top of the liquid as it boils and then use a whisk to integrate the xanthan into the liquid. Continue to whisk until no lumps remain. Remove the pan from heat.
4. Let the syrup rest and thicken for a couple of minutes, then pour the syrup through a filter (I used a mesh strainer) and into a container from which you'll pour it. (You don't have to strain it, but there may be a few lumps of xanthan left in it--so it's a good way to ensure it's smooth.)
5. Serve. Store at room temperature in a covered container. Microwave if desired before serving.
