Notes
- You will know when your maple syrup is done when:
- After you combine your brown sugar, white sugar, and water in a heavy pan, make sure that the water boils over medium heat until the sugars are dissolved.
- Then simmer and stir constantly for a couple more minutes (at least 2-3). You can use a candy thermometer to determine when it's done simmering.
- Then allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes to thicken up.
