Home Ec Project: Apple Cinnamon Syrup
For this simple project you will be putting into practice the lessons you learned on proper hot water bath canning. Remember to follow all the direction for proper sterilization and food preparation.
You will need to also follow directions for using a candy thermometer to get the syrup to the correct temperature where it will thicken.
In addition to making a nice pancake and ice cream syrup, this makes a very pretty gift.
