2. Maple Syrup in Cooking
It is a healthier alternative to table sugar. The syrup doesn’t change under heat, and it can be used in many baked goods and desserts. It makes cakes, pies and croissants sweeter, while also lowering blood sugar levels. Natural sweeteners add a richness of flavor to marinades, glazes and rubs for poultry, meat and fish. Watch your children go back for more when you roast organic fresh vegetables with maple sugar.
Use two-thirds cup of maple syrup as a replacement for 1 cup of table sugar to get the best flavor. Reduce all liquid ingredients by 1/4 cup to compensate for the viscosity. Reduce the baking temperature to 25deg F in order to get the most flavor out of the syrup.
You can add maple syrup to fruit or sweeten green tea. It is also great for cocktails. Pour it over ice-cream to satisfy that sweet tooth.
