Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup molasses (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup water (4 fl oz)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 4 cinnamon sticks (or 1/2 tsp ground)
  • 4 whole cloves (or 1/4 tsp ground)
  • 2 whole nutmeg pods, cracked in half (or 1/4 tsp ground)
  • 2" knuckle fresh ginger, peeled and roughly sliced (or 1 tsp ground)

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat.  Lower heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and rest for another 10 minutes.
  • Strain out spices if using whole spices instead of ground and allow to cool. Store leftovers in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • This recipe yields a total of about 1 1/4 cups.
  • Molasses: Be sure to use regular molasses instead of blackstrap, which is too bitter for this recipe.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. The syrup will thicken further as it cools and can be reheated for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to help loosen it up.
