Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Apple Cider Syrup.
Step 1
Begin by melting butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it bubbles, which should take about a minute.
Step 2
Next, stir in sugar and molasses, mixing until the sugar is completely absorbed and the mixture appears dry, roughly three minutes.
Step 3
Pour in two cups of apple cider and stir well, bringing the concoction to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Introduce a cinnamon stick to the mix and allow the syrup to simmer for about ten minutes, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together one tablespoon of apple cider, lemon juice, and cornstarch until smooth.
Step 6
Gradually incorporate this cornstarch mixture into the simmering syrup, whisking continuously to ensure a seamless blend.
Step 7
Keep simmering until the syrup thickens to a consistency reminiscent of warm maple syrup, which should take around five minutes.
Step 8
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and serve the syrup warm.
Step 9
For any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to three weeks.
Step 10
Enjoy this delightful syrup drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or even as a sweet addition to your favorite beverages.
