Maple Syrup - A Jewel on Snow
Ranked #16,744 in Food & Cooking, #295,455 overall
Maple Syrup
Thank goodness for sugar maple trees. Every spring when sap runs, it's tapped to create the jewel of the breakfast world. Small spigots drain sap into buckets and the sweet, dark amber jewel is boiled into a syrup which the world knows as "maple syrup". On breakfast tables everywhere, maple syrup is practically a necessity for pancakes, waffles, French toast, even as a wonderful addition to cereals like oatmeal and farina. Maple Syrup is so versatile. It's found as a topping for many desserts such as custards, ice cream and butterscotch pudding.
Nature's Gift to the Breakfast Table
Maple syrup is nature's gift to pancakes. It's also the secret ingredient in baked beans, liver and onions and salad dressing for mixed greens and fruit. Kids especially like the surprise sweetness as icing on cakes and cupcakes. The great thing about Maple Syrup is that it is a natural ingredient. From sugar maple trees to the familiar bottle, pure maple syrup has no additional preservatives.
Apples and Cinnamon With A Dash of Maple Syrup
Some foods just naturally marry well. Apples, cinnamon and maple syrup are three of those. Add a dash to homemade apple pie, apple crisp or any recipe that calls for apples. The same is true of Maple Syrup and nuts. Maple syrup does well in pecan and chess pies as well as most coffee cakes. Walnuts and maple syrup make a wonderful topping for any dessert or even breakfast pancakes.
