you have inspired me to experiment!!
i think i'll try mixing some water with organic turbinado or sucanat and 
cooking it down until it's syrup consistency (simple syrup) and add vanilla 
when cool. Or maple extract
http://www.icdc.com/~vanilla/Pure%20Maple%20Flavor%20Extract.htm
(That's what all the fake maple syrup makers do- corn syrup w/maple 
flavoring)

To extend maple syrup I have blended frozen (thawed) strawberries, 
blueberries, or peaches and added just enough syrup to sweeten. Delish on 
pancakes and waffles. Could do the same subbing with simple syrup.
Might also try reducing frozen fruit juice concentrate.
