Pour some maple syrup on your food today

Monte Cristo sandwich Today is National Maple Syrup Day, and while it's common to pour maple syrup on breakfast foods such as pancakes and waffles, maybe we can do something a little bit different today.

You could make a Monte Cristo Sandwich, though the recipes I'm finding online don't have maple syrup listed in the ingredients. That's the way I've had them in the past, so maybe you can try it that way too. Having pasta tonight? Forget all about tomato sauce and put some maple syrup on it! Making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Maybe a dollop or two of maple syrup might make things interesting.

And then top it off with a cocktail made with maple syrup, The Misty Maple Leaf.

Ooh, I love maple syrup. I use it in place of sugar in most baked goods, if I can. Whole-grain bread, muffins, waffles (in as well as on), cornbread, cookies... you name it.

Here in Maine, one Sunday in February is Maine Maple Sunday, when all of the sugarhouses open up to the public. It's good fun. There are livestock and pancakes, though not usually together.

And that stuff made with corn syrup? Not worth the plastic it's packaged in.

I was thinking of using cranberries tonight. Now I'm thinking Maple syrup would sweeten them up in an interesting way!

Thanks for the idea!

Hi,

during my vacation in Maine/Canada, I've bought some "maple gelee"
do you have some recipe also with it?
Do you have some recommendation how to use the gelee?
I'm from Italy, and this is not so much common...
Thank you in advice,

Barbara
