Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan over med. heat. Stir
occasionally, until the mixture comes to a full boil. Let it boil for 7 min.
Turn the heat off and let the syrup cool for 15 min. Add the maple flavoring
and stir. When completely cool, transfer the syrup to a covered plastic or
glass container.
VARIATION: For syrup with a butter flavor, just add 3 tbsp. of butter to the
mixture before heating. For a lighter syrup, use a sugar substitute instead
of the regular sugar.
