Many times I am lucky to find people on my page that tell me stories of the reasons they put up so many jars and how over the years generations of canners in their families have made recipes that they past down the family. Lisa who is new to my Facebook page shared a picture of a jar that I was intrigued about and then delighted to hear that her aunt use to make a version of the same recipe. Lisa's picture was the result of a recipe we all have seen but maybe never tried: Maple Walnut Syrup. Lisa said that her aunt would use hickory nuts and she also saw a version in the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving that was called Praline syrup using pecans.
Now when you scroll down to see this picture you be excited about the possibility of having nuts in your pancake syrup and the unbelievable thought of what a great idea to pair this recipe in a jar with your favorite pancake mix for a gift. But more than that how easy this recipe is to make.
Here is Lisa's beautiful jar of heaven and the recipe for Maple Walnut Syrup and a bonus recipe of the Praline Syrup as well!
