    Title: Janos Maple Syrup Gravy
    Categories: Five, Sauces, Poultry
    Yield: 1 Quart

    5 tb Turkey drippings
    3 tb Flour
    4 tb Maple syrup
    1 qt Chicken stock
    Salt & pepper

    Place the driping in a heavy skillet over medium high
    heat. It will sizzle and spatter as the water cooks off
    leaving only the grease, this will take about 3-4
    minutes. ( The 5 TBSP measurement refers to all the
    liquid taken from the roasting pan, this should yield
    about 3 TBSP grease after all the water has cooked
    out.).

    Stirring constantly add the flour to the hot grease to
    form a roux. Cook the roux over the heat about 5-7
    minutes stirring constantly being careful not to burn
    the flour.

    Slowly stir in the maple syrup and then the chicken
    stock stirring constantly, being certain not to add any
    more chicken stock until the previous addition of stock
    is fully incorporated. At the beginning the gravy will
    be very thick and pasty, but as all the chicken stock is
    added the consistency will become smooth and slightly
    thickened.

    Simmer over low heat for about five minutes after all
    the chicken stock has been added. Correct seasoning with
    salt and pepper.
