Aunt Patty's Apple Syrup

Okay, this stuff is famous. We have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it. Honest. It's probably best with Grandpa Sellers' sourdough pancakes but it works on just about anything breakfast. And it really doesn't take much extra time. It's now Natalie (11) and Katy's (9) job to whip it up while Dad gets the pancake batter ready.

• 2 c. apple cider (apple juice works if you don't have cider around)
• 1 c. sugar
• 2 Tbs. cornstarch
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 2 Tbs. lemon juice
  
• 1/4 c. butter (or margarine)

Combine all ingredients except for butter in saucepan, stirring constantly, allowing to boil for one minute. Remove from heat and add butter, stirring while it melts. Syrup will thicken as you continue to stir and it cools.

Start pouring. ;)
