what do you use in place of maple syrup?

[Guest guest]

I tried to make the chicken pancakes for my son tonight--wouldn't touch

them. I put honey on top-still wouldn't touch them. I haven't started

him officially on the diet yet. I was trying to see what I can feed

him for the intro part. So far it looks like just applesauce is fine

with him. He refused to eat a burger. I will see if he will eat plain

chicken tomorrow. Any ideas on what I could use in place of maple

syrup? This is going to be tough on him until we can add some more

foods in.

Thanks,

Most commercial " maple syrup " is actually high

fructose corn syrup with maple flavoring. Very

different taste from real maple syrup. So what

you might consider is using pear sauce flavored

with a legal maple extract -- wouldn't have the

maple + the honey's natural taste.

Thank you! I'll try that. Plain honey on top didn't work. (I really thought

he would love it-But I think he knows something is up!)

start out slow, use the maple syrup you have in the bottle he recognizes. Make

it half honey and half whatever syrup you use, I do like the real 100% maple

syrup but is illegal. I have been know to put things in jars my son recognizes

and start slowly. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but it increases

my odds of him making the switch.
