Maple Syrup

In snowy, northern climes, it's the first harvest of the new year, and, definitely, the sweetest. Maple syrup is captured this time of year and bottled for year-round enjoyment.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we tap into all that is maple syrup, and focus on the foods that complement its natural sweetness and distinctive flavor. Refresh your prowess with pancakes and waffles, learn about aebleskivers, and prepare an updated version of maple baked beans that you'll surely love.
