Cinnamon Maple Cream Syrup

Cinnamon Maple Cream Syrup

Weekends are for lazy, coffee mornings.  Lingering at the breakfast table with sun streaming in.  Light airy pancakes with soft butter and thick syrup.  Square creviced waffles catching sweet drips.  Fragile crepes wrapped around fresh fruit and fluffy whipped cream.
This creamy syrup with its hint of maple and cinnamon spice is adapted from an old family recipe.  Served on my childhood table, its now a staple in my kitchen and the recipe is frequently requested by guests.
How will you serve it this weekend?

Cinnamon Maple Cream Syrup

2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp mapleine or maple extract
