I Wants Some Syrups!

[lightningfoot speakin words]

Is mrs. butterworths gluten free? thanks in advance! BYE!!

[CarlaB]

I don't know, but good, pure maple syrup is!!!

No, the last time I checked, Mrs. Butterworth's was not gluten-free. They use barley, I believe. Do you happen to have a Wegman's grocery store nearby? Their own pancake syrup is gluten-free--and is marked as such on the label. Of course, pure maple syrup is gluten-free--and tasty.

Last time I looked Mrs Butterworths didn't even contain any maple syrup.... get the pure stuff, it is the best.

Lighteningfoot,

Hi! I don't know if you're interested, but, I make my own fruit "concoctions", like jams and syrups. I take fresh fruit- blueberries (yum!), strawberries or cherries, add a little sugar or sucanat and simmer on stove 'til boiled down to jam-like consistency or like syrup. I also add a teaspoon of my own homemade vanilla (3 vanilla beans in skinny jar of brandy for 3 weeks) for extra panache. Very tasty by the spoonful or, I imagine, on ice cream or pancakes! And easy!

I like fruit syrups too. A super easy one is to take real apple cider (the kind that comes fresh in the fall) & simmer it down to a syrupy consistancy. So yummy! But I love maple syrup too. And being a southern girl there are times when only molasses will do!
