How to Make Maple Walnut Syrup
- Combine 2 cups light corn syrup, 1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup water, and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until the syrup thickens significantly (it should coat the back of a spoon), about 15-20 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure it reaches 218-220°F (103-104°C) for optimal shelf stability.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of your favorite walnuts (chopped or halves).
- Let the syrup cool slightly (about 5 minutes) before canning.
- Ladle the hot syrup into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars on the counter.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean and place lids and bands on tightly.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a reputable canning guide for altitude adjustments).
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
