One can make LC pancakes - they certainly would be homemade, too.

PJ,

The very best low carb pancake syrup is the Cozy Cottage sugar free brand.
There's another version from the same company that has "Vermont" in the
title. They sell them at the supermarket all over the Northeast. One huge
serving has 2 grams of sorbitol and I never use anywhere near the full
serving.

The texture is thick, the flavor mapley, and it goes great on my low carb
protein pancakes.

I just use the dry pancakes as snack food.

Someone posted a nice recipe in this ng not too long ago, that resulted in a
thick LC syrup. However, it was under a thread that I can't remember and I
didn't feel like spending more time googling.

I was just thinking that maybe I would put the syrup that I have into a
small pot and simmer it until a lot of the water vaporizes. Why not? It's
useless the way it is now.

I need to know which store might carry it locally. Their website doesn't
tell.

Where do you get it if you don't mail order it?

Yes, you can make your own syrups with water, Splenda (or other LC
sweetener) and any flavoured extract that you buy in the baking section of
you grocery store. Maple extract works great. Use xanthan or guar gum for
the thickener to your desired consistency. The only carbs will be from
whichever sweetener you use.
Another thing I like is pureed fruit like peaches, blueberries,
strawberries, etc. with some Splenda mixed in for a little sweetness.

If you do a google search on this newsgroup, you'll find one of my previous
posts where I give a recipe. I'm just too lazy right now to look for it
myself. :-)

I think the Atkins syrup is OK, not great perhaps, but it serves the
purpose. If you want to thicken it up, you could try adding some
xanathan or guar gum.

Hi,

Why
not? It's useless the way it is now.

One point: that'll concentrate the carb content. Another idea would
be to simmer some with a smidge of one of the vegetable gums (guar,
xanthan, etc.). You could add a touch of extract and improve the
flavor.
I'd just chuck it out and, using water, extract and sweetener with a
vegetable gum for thickening make my own. It could be fun. :-)

take care,
Carmen

I know! I'll put it outside in a platter and maybe it'll drive the squirrels
away.

I have never seen such a worthless product.

I've tried many low carb maple syrups (Keto, Da Vinci, Atkins, and many
others.) Unfortuanately, I've yet to find a good one.

I like Log Cabin.

No, it is not OK. It is watery and almost tasteless. YUCK!!

The bubble rises to the top instantly when you turn it upside down.
What were they thinking? (Profit??).

But you have your right to your opinion.

I bought a bottle of all the sugar free syrup I could find and ended
up with
Spring Tree Sugar Free Low Calorie Syrup as my favorite.
Maple Grove Farms cozy cottage as a distant second
Atkins Syrup at the bottom of the list.
