One of the best parts about eating out for breakfast at a pancake place are all the flavored fruit syrups! But what I hate are all the chemicals that fill those syrups…from dyes to fake flavoring…I hate it and I prefer that the kids don’t eat it. So when I was asked to pick a recipe off the Karo Syrup site, make it, and share with y’all, I scoured the site but decided that these DIY Homemade Fruit Syrups would be super fun.
Whether you’re a pro or a newbie in the kitchen, these syrups are the easiest thing to make. Plus, having a selection of homemade syrups for breakfast will get you cheers and appaulase from everyone. Promise!
I love cooking and baking from scratch…it shows my family that I care about them, about their health, and that I’m willing to take time out of my busy day for them. Every Sunday, we have a huge pancake breakfast with bacon and OJ. I started adding in this homemade syrup and now the family begs for pancakes every day!
Every Thanksgiving, I stock up on corn syrup and I’m brand loyal to Karo for my pecan pies. I always have been…it’s the brand my mom and granny used, so why wouldn’t I (it’s been around for over 100 years and has 0g of high fructose corn syrup). Plus, I love it! This is a great recipe to use up that last bit in the bottle after the holidays…or what the heck…just buy a giant bottle and make a different flavor every week!

After making, if you don’t use it all, I’m presuming you store it in the fridge because there’s no preservatives. BUT, will it crystalize like making the syrup with white sugar will do?
I only make small batches because it’s so easy. So I’ve never had leftovers, but I bet you’re correct. w-
