A Trip Down Maple Lane
As promised yesterday, we're going to take another trip down maple lane. I have a personal attachment to maple products and we've already discussed what you can make from maple sap (i.e. maple syrup), but today I'd like to talk about what else you can make...
I was at a farm show recently where some friends of mine showed me the latest things they are making using pure New York State maple syrup. An old favorite is of course the sugar cake candies...
They also do hard candies and lollipops with maple as well as the addition of I believe corn syrup. And maple cotton candy is a fair favorite in our area. Maple covered seeds and nuts are very popular also...
And they told me about how they are trying new ideas like maple covered pretzel balls and other cool treats. You can also find maple mustard, maple butter and my personal favorite, maple cream...
As always, we love to see the Pride of New York label...
So there you go...maple, not just for pancakes anymore!
