Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup and fresh orange juice over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the orange zest, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 7-8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter until it melts completely, giving the syrup a silky texture.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for an added depth of flavor.
Step 6
Let the syrup cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Optionally, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother consistency, removing any bits of orange zest.
Step 8
Serve the Maple Orange Syrup warm over pancakes, waffles, or as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
