I have some friends who are truly outstanding crafters, and wildly creative with the gifts they create. However, I possess less crafting creativity than anyone I know, and so I turn to homemade gifts from my kitchen instead. Luckily, whipping up tokens of love on my stovetop is one of my favorite chilly day activities. So, while I’m accepting hand knitted scarves and peppermint scented candles, they’re receiving cookie tins, pans stuffed with cinnamon rolls, and mini jugs of homemade apple cider syrup.

It’s a good deal we have going.

When it comes to gifts from the kitchen, I am all about making sure each one packs amazing flavor. That is why, for everything from apple butter to gingerbread loaves, I am always reaching for McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract and Ground Cinnamon. These two are a marriage made in heaven!

I use the warm, inviting flavor of vanilla and cinnamon on an almost-daily basis for mixing in to my daughter’s oatmeal, swirling into Greek yogurt, and baking up loaves of banana bread. The combination is so richly scented and perfect for infusing a little holiday spirit into any homemade sweet treat.

For these apple cider syrups, I like to pour them into mini re-sealable glass jars. I tie them up with a pretty ribbon and a little sack of homemade pancake mix. Here is my whole wheat version. It’s the most adorable hostess gift, too. Just add it to a basket lined with a kitchen towel, and any other goodies you think they would enjoy. Speaking from experience, I can’t think of anything better to wake up to, the morning after hosting a big holiday event!

Even if you are just making this for fun weekend experiment, I know you will fall in love with this luscious apple cider syrup! It is so simple to make, and makes the most buttery smooth, scrumptious addition to your morning pancakes, French toast or waffles. You can even try mixing it into a skillet pork chop recipe, too!

  4. Seems to be easy and delicious! Thanks :)

  5. I know this is an old post, but I just came across it. This looks AMAZING!! I’m not sure if anyone still sees these comments, but if so, I’d love to know a couple of things: (1) I’m assuming this needs to be stored in the refrigerator? As in, if you give it as a gift, you’d need to be mindful to keep it cold and be sure they get it to the fridge as soon as possible after receiving it as well? and (2) How long will this keep? Thank you for this. I can’t wait to try it! :)

  6. Thanks your kind words, Susie! Yes, keep the syrup in an airtight container or jar. It should be stored refrigerated, but can be packaged for a gift and left at room temperature for a day. It can keep for up to 2 months.
