Karo Syrup and Butter
www.karosyrup.com |
My parents were from the South, well my Dad was (Mississippi) – my mom was actually considered a Northerner because she came from Kentucky. That said, both my parents grew up using molasses as a sweetener. I don’t remember having molasses much at all, but what we did have was Karo Syrup. An easy breakfast was to pour a puddle of Karo Syrup on our plate (clear was all I ever remember having but now there are choices) and then cut off a pat of butter or margarine and swirl them together with your fork. Then take biscuits, break them apart and either “sop” up the syrup or if you felt particularly mannerly cut the biscuits up and drag the pieces through the syrup. Yum, yum – no wonder I have such a sweet tooth!

Sugar and calorie overload!
I still prefer molasses though. I never tried this Karo thing before, but I will definitely look into it now.
Oh, my goodness! It has been years since I thought about dark Karo and butter. Yum yum! It was a staple in our house when we wanted something sweet. When we didn't have Karo, my dad would put sugar and water in a kettle on the stove and make sugar syrup. He had to always have something sweet after a meal. We lived in East Tennessee. Come visit me at my blog, friend! Best wishes to you.
My late grandfather thoroughly enjoyed this mixture too! I tried it way back when I was younger and loved it.
OMG, i've never tried this but it sounds ridiculously good. In Canada it's all about maple syrup and, when that ran out, Beehive corn syrup. I'm not even sure if I've ever seen Karo on the shelves here…
