Smoked syrup?

[hillbilly jim]

Just out of curiosity, I ran a 24 ounce bottle of Log Cabin syrup in the smoker (cold with AMNPS) for 16 hours. I kept disturbing the surface and tasting it as it went along. Even after 16 hours, I can't taste the smoke.

I noticed something odd... When I poured it out of the pan back into the bottle, it had thickened and I lost about 6 ounces. Would syrup evaporate that fast?

The ambient was in the upper 60s and the smoker is in a metal building in the shade. I'm off the chart anal about temp tracking & control, so I know the cabinet temp never hit 70.

Hillbilly Jim, you obviously need to go out and hunt something to smoke! 

 

! LOL 

 As far as your syrup escapade, they have a thing called, liquid smoke!   Sorry Buddy you already missed out on that one!

Hey Hillbilly
Yes syrup will evaporate some over time with heat, look at the plate from breakfast when you have pancakes and don't get the dishes done right away.
It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup I know that is not,what you asked just info.
Not sure why it did not pickup smoke.
Your shrink may have been partly self induced with samples

Keep trying and good luck

Member Mr. T pumped smoke into his food processor while churning heavy cream for butter.  This essentially smoked the cream, not the finished product.  He pumped it in for a very short period of time.

You may be able to try something like this.
