***STORY: I went to my brother's house one morning to report in for my first day of work. I got there and all their kids were sitting down for a breakfast of pancakes with this strawberry type syrup. It smelled incredible. So, I sat down and ate with them. I was thinking...I could get used to this for sure! Hot breakfast, served at the beginning of the work day. YUMMO! I liked the syrup so much that I inquired what brand it was. She told me it was homemade and I HAD to get the recipe. When I saw everything that was in it, I realized why it was so good. SO, I don't make it all the time, but when I do, EVERYONE loves it! Definitely a keeper. Would be good for a breakfast in bed...or birthday breakfast. :)
