Do you have a good recipe using maple syrup? I have this lovely bottle from my neighbors and I want to make something special with it. Do you have a good recipe?

I'm not so sure that I would use it in a recipe. In my humble opinion, good maple syrup deserves to be allowed pretty much free reign of the taste buds. It has a fragrance and taste that can be lost when incorporated with other things in a recipe.

My choice would be Belgian Waffles or a good French toast! Yummy. Serve with your favorite breakfast meat and a fruit medley with a yogurt/honey/orange zest sauce on the side. That would be special. I grew up in maple syrup country and love love it!

How do you use maple syrup in desserts?

I love maple and use it in many things. I really like the maple shortbreads and Ann T's maple fudge, and I use maple syrup in my pumpkin pie and drizzle it on sweet potatoes when I bake them and use it on my oatmeal and instead of honey on biscuits. I use it in my maple oatmeal bread too. I use maple syrup a lot, but this recipe is my all time favorite dessert: Individual Maple Pear Cobblers Courtesy of: Rebecca Rather, Chef, Rather Sweet Bakery and Cafe 6 servings 3 pounds pears, peeled, cored, quartered 2/3 cup + 9 tablespoons pure maple syrup 2 tablespoons + 1 1/2 cups flour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder 9 tablespoons whipping cream melted butter sugar to taste nutmeg to taste For the filling, combine the pears, 2/3 cup syrup, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Divide evenly among 6 custard cups or soufflé dishes. Place a pat of butter on top of each one. Bake at 425 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes or until heated through. For the topping, place the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in a food processor. Add 6 tablespoons butter and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the cream, 9 tablespoons syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla and process until combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto the hot filling. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Bake for 14 minutes or until firm to the touch and golden brown. Annie

Do you have a good Fish & Chips batter recipe that uses beer?

May : I just found this in Micro Soft Works, thought I deleted it, when I did the Original recipe for Fish Puffs , above ^. I'll be making them for Dinner so I'll Post Photo's there. Flounder Puffs A friend and I went fishing often, in Delaware Bay. When we returned to our homes, we cooked the fish. Then we would meet and test each others cooked fish and argue about, which was better. One day we caught a lot of Flounder. I decided to make a batter, dip the pieces ( about the size of a matchbook ) and fry them. I seasoned the batter heavy; for taste, because it dissipates a little. When my fishing buddy tasted them , he declared me the winner. Then he tried it and we are still arguing about who makes the best. Thought I'd share this simple recipe with you. All I did was beat an egg,( or as many as you need) add Garlic & Onion powder. A pinch of Old Bay, dry parsley, salt and pepper. Add enough flour to make a batter (not too thin). Dry the flounder pieces on a paper towel, Sprinkle with Cornstarch & shake. Dip them in the batter, then into a heated frying pan, with your favorite oil. They Puff up a lot. Turn them out onto a paper towel, when cooked. You can cook one piece and taste it. Add more spices if needed. A platter full will disappear in no time !!! Lou

I agree with rhizo........It would be a real shame to put it in something that you won't really be able to appreciate the syrup. I don't know if you are a waffles or pancake person but that's for sure where I would start.

I am a french toast person, although I do like pancakes and waffles are 3rd on my list. I was thinking of baking something as they told us my grade of syrup was best for that. I don't know.

Sue, I do, as a matter of fact. Haven't made it in a long time because of the price of maple syrup. Right now I can't remember the name of it, but I will go through my recipes and try to find it. If I do I will post it.

Just as a topping is my preference. I seldom buy it because of the price. I'm such a cheap-skate.

But over my French toast, or sour cream pancakes. YUM

Hi there, jazzy,

They say that it's a good idea to spoil yourself, on occasion - even if only a little bit ...

... to splurge a bit!

Go get yourself some maple syrup, on occasion - and don't feel guilty about it!

ole (frugal) joyfuelled ... (with a bit o' help from maple syrup, on occasion)

P.S. I agree, to use it as a topping, e.g. with waffles, French toast, or pancakes - which allows one to enjoy the full flavour and fun of it.

I don't know what it tastes like, as it is still sealed in the bottle, just going by what the folks that made it told Amber to tell me. Nothing telling the grade on the label. They told her her bottle was for table use as it was lighter I think.

I like to make a marinade for fresh salmon.....a little soy, a little maple syrup, some fresh parsley and a little bit of lemon juice.
Then I sear the salmon in a hot frying pan and finish it off in the oven.
Yummy.

There are grades of Maple Syrup, here in Ontario. They run from light, medium and amber.

The light-coloured ones are from the first or early runs, and is more delicate flavour, so good for toppings on pancakes, ice cream etc.

The Medium and Amber grades and colour have a stronger more pronounced maple flavour and are good for glazes, and baking.

Sue, I am sorry I could not find the recipe. I guess I have thrown it away, because of the price of the syrup.

This is a recipe my DSis does all the time. She and her DH love it! I haven't tried because my DH doesn't like salmon.

Maple Salmon
Allrecipes.com

"This is the best and most delicious salmon recipe, and very easy to prepare. I love maple in everything and put this together one night. My husband totally loved it; he did not like salmon that much until he had this."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
Ingredients

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound salmon
Directions
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic salt, and pepper.

Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish, and coat with the maple syrup mixture. Cover the dish, and marinate salmon in the refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon uncovered 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

You should try it on pancakes or waffles. Then you can decide whether you want to use it in cooking.

I love real ample syrup and haven't bought pancake syrup in years. Just today I restarted a healthy eating plan (hate to call them diets)and was so happy to see that when I did the math my real syrup comes in close in calories to the so called lite stuff I used to use. Real maple syrup is flavorful so I don't use as much. Had a frozen waffle for breakfast, measured out a tablespoon and used the dip method. Only needed about 1/2 tablespoon. My waffle,syrup,cottage cheese and fruit breakfast came out to
275 calories and left me sated until my snack.
