Before there was Syrup...There was Mapleine - Imitation Maple Flavoring. =) As kids, we really didn't know that we were poor. We just thought that this was what every family had to eat on their pancakes. Just the other day, I came across this at the super market and had to get some just for nostalgic sake. For the record... I share this recipe not because it is SOOOO good, but because of the history that it has to share. AND if you should ever find yourself feeling like you want to save a few dollars.. Try this and see how you like it!
