Here are 2 jars i did last night. Its my first time but I'm pretty sure i over cooked them. If you look at the pics there seems to be chunks of stuff flying around. Do they look caramelized to you guy? Or is that how there suppose to look? Alittle help please.

WTF did you do? You screwed up pretty good with those. I've never seen anything come out that bad before. Toss them out, they're worthless.

How did you cook them and for how long? If you use boiling water when you start, 30-45 min in a pressure cooker should steralize it. I have found that maple syrup is harder to caramelize

well i started by boiling water and then i added 4% dry malt extract to the water. I followed the tek in the cultivation page,and cuz I'm abit lazy saw it said it should be about 1 table spoon full for every cup. i let it continue to boil for another 10 mins. I then took the mix and placed it in the jars. The jars contained one hole at the top stuffed with Polly fill and tyvek over the mouth of the jar much like if i were cooking wbs. I then proceeded to PC them for 20 to 30 mins. may have been longer i lost track of time. 
and if may add, dex?

I use:
1 tablespoon dry light malt 1 tablesppon dextrose
for 600-700ml of water in a quart jar.
take your water and put it in a seperate large pot and heat. do not boil, heat. add dry ingredients and stir until 100% disolved. do not boil. strain this liquid through 2 coffee filters. strain this liquid through 2 coffee filters again.
pour into jars and pc at 15 psi for no more or less than 15 minutes.
perfect for me, maybe for you too. there are other ways, but I find this the best for me and for my mycelium.

15min. just boiling (212F) is good enough so in a PC at 15lbs. (250F.) use your mycsense.
