Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, fresh orange juice, and orange zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally.
Once the syrup begins to simmer, stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated.
If desired, add the ground cinnamon and stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before transferring it to a serving container such as a small pitcher or glass jar.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or desserts. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container for up to one week, reheating gently before serving.
