This homemade sweet syrup is perfect for drizzling on top of any of your favorite traditional family desserts.  This also makes for a perfect holiday gift for someone special.

Potato Pancakes

Also known as latkes, potato pancakes are a traditional food Jewish people eat during Hanukkah. When these delicious hash brown-like pancakes turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior, you’ll know they are ready to be devoured. It is common to dip latkes in apple sauce and sour cream.
