Can I use brown sugar instead of white sugar in my homemade syrup?

While white sugar works to replace the sweetness of white sugar, it is missing the complexity of the caramel flavors. Therefore, brown sugar is a better replacement. Brown sugar shares similar notes to caramel found in maple syrup. So, this substitute will give you a final flavor that is closer to the original recipe.

What is a substitute for sugar syrup?

Honey is another good simple syrup substitute. Its flavor is slightly stronger than maple syrup, but it still works as a sub. Because the consistency of honey can be very thick, make it into honey syrup! Here’s How to Make Honey Syrup, which you can use as a 1-for-1 replacement with simple syrup.

Ingredients You Need

• Water – The water is used to help melt the sugars and bring them to a boil to help caramelize them.
• Brown Sugar – Adds a darker color and a deeper flavor with a hint of molasses.
• Pure Vanilla Extract – Vanilla is added for flavor. You can also use maple extract if you have it. Whether you opt to go with maple or vanilla, you can’t go wrong.
• Jamaican White Rum– Enhance the sweetness in the syrup.

HOW TO MAKE Jamaican Rum Simple Syrup Recipe

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, place the brown sugar and water. Bring mixture to a boil, while stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 4 minutes or until thickened. 
• Add the rum and stir into the brown syrup. Turn off the heat, add the vanilla, and stir.

How To Store Simple Rum Syrup

The homemade syrup is best kept in the refrigerator and will last for up to a month. The syrup will thicken as it cools, but if you’re like us and love WARM syrup over waffles, then store it in a glass bottle or jar. That way, you can microwave the container as needed and drizzle it over your waffles or pancake without making a mess.

“But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Wisdom

As believers in Christ, we must remember we are saved by grace through faith, we did not save ourselves, salvation is God’s gift to us. We must also remember that we cannot please our God unless we have faith in Him, and as the word says, it’s impossible to please Him without it. There are many stories in the Bible, that show the testimonies of past generations of God’s people, and how they showed great faith in Him.

From Abraham to His chosen 12, when He walked this earth. What they all had in common is that they believed in Him, had faith in Him, and showed it by the things they did. Even the apostle Paul, showed great faith in the Highest and His Son Jesus through His many labors for Him. An Our God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

We all hope our labors for  God will not be in vain. But we can assure ourselves that once we believe in Him and show our faith, we all will receive salvation through His name. Anything we have given up, He will reward us with more. This is the hope that we have. This is the trust we place in Him and His word.

We know what He says is true because He sealed us with His Holy Spirit of promise. Everything He promises us will be fulfilled. Our God is not a liar, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Everything He says comes to pass. I pray that we all will seek Him diligently, as the word says. Believe that He is, walk by faith and not by sight, run this race and fight the good fight of faith, so in the end, we all will receive our reward. Let no one take our crowns, and let us all share in the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus on the day that He returns for all His saints. Amen.
