Health and fertility benefits of Apple Cider Syrup
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
Ingredients
2 cups Apple Cider
3 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
1 cup Loosely Packed Light Brown Sugar

Heat the cider, syrup, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture is simmering, reduces by half and starts to thicken, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and let it cool completely.
Remove the cinnamon sticks, then pour over pancakes or use as desired.
