HACKED RECIPE
Honey-Vanilla Syrup Recipe

Hacked from
Honey-Vanilla Syrup
To eliminate all refined sweeteners, just using honey and vanilla with water makes this recipe simple and health-smart! Very versatile: I use it on my bread puddings, custards, flans etc. when I bake and as a substitute for maple syrup. Amazing on ice cream too! To spice it up a bit, add a pinch of nutmeg OR cinnamon. I find the honey keeps this preserved indefinitely in the cupboard, no need to fridge!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds reserved
- 1/2 cup honey
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place water, honey, and vanilla seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Remove syrup from heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. If it crystallizes, microwave briefly (30 secs-1 min) or place in hot water bath til desired consistency is reached. Sometimes I let it crystallize on purpose, and use like a spread. (Works great for cinnamon rolls!)
