Or drizzle them into club soda for a homemade drink.

I first started making homemade simple syrup years ago, and I've been hooked ever since!

You can make them in minutes, and they keep in the fridge for ages.

They're perfect as an edible gift if you put them into a pretty bottle, too. I often make a lot at Christmas to give to friends.

Or, just have them on a stack of pancakes or waffles!

I used to love going to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) when I was a kid.

Sure, the jar of crayons and coloring papers were a big draw, but the main thing I loved was that they had a tray with a variety of pancake syrups on every table.

I swear, the only time I've ever heard of a boysenberry is their boysenberry syrup! That one was my favorite - closely followed by butter pecan.

But my sister and I always tried each and every syrup. A little raspberry syrup, a drizzle of blueberry syrup... They were certainly Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity!

You can buy syrup in the grocery store, but homemade pancake syrup is something pretty special.

Most have just 3-4 ingredients and they take just minutes to make. No preservatives, nothing artificial.

And ooooooooh my, they taste wonderful.
