A very excellent substitute for maple syrup to serve on hot griddle cakes is prepared from 2 pounds of either brown or white sugar and 1-3/4 cups of water, in the following manner: Place the stew-pan containing sugar and water on the back part of range, until sugar dissolves, then boil from 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture thickens to the consistency of honey. Remove from the range and add a few drops of vanilla or "mapleine" flavoring. NOTE: Some history of the imitation flavoring Mapleine. A tiny pinch of cream of tartar, added when syrup commences to boil, prevents syrup granulating; too large a quantity of cream of tartar added to the syrup would cause it to have a sour taste. This old-fashioned recipe is re-published by EastmanPublishing.com from Mary at the Farm and Book of Recipes Compiled during Her Visit among the "Pennsylvania Germans" by Edith M. Thomas - 1915
