Every once in a while my children love pancakes for breakfast. We now use an organic wholewheat pancake mix and my son loves the syrup on it.His dad will often shout from the kitchen: "Hey Josh, want some Maple Syrup on those pancakes?"
I so often interject, "It is not Maple Syrup!!"
Josh looks at us a little confused and response with "Of course, I want Maple Syrup."
Me again "It is not Maple Syrup!!"
"Dad, What is it then?" his enquiring mind wants to know.
"Well son, it is Maple Flavoured Sugar Water."
And pretty much that is what it is. On my husbands last grocery expedition (that is what it is as he will be gone a good 2 sometimes 3 hours to buy 2 weeks worth of groceries) he brought back some real Maple Syrup.
Lets for a moment just compare the ingredients:
Bottle #1: Glucose; Liquid Sugar, Liquid Invert Sugar (whatever that is), Water, Natural and Artificial Flavour, Caramel Colour, Sodium Benzoate, Sorbic Acid, Malitol and last but not least Sulphites
Bottle #2: Pure Organic Maple Syrup
Now when my husband offers Maple Syrup for the pancakes, he is offering the real deal!
