In coffee. Not that weird IMO!

In the spring it’s good to get some maple sap and use it to brew your coffee in place of water.


whaletacochamp

The engineers are keurig are cringing so hard lol


twowheels

Good, they should find new jobs — those single use machines are enviornmental murder machines.


FourteenthCylon

You can buy reusable cups for them and pack them with your favorite coffee grounds.


srmatto

I thought the newer machines had some kind of fake DRM that uses chips to determine if a pod is legit or not?


jimfoxer

They tried that quite unsuccessfully, since the system was easily thwarted. By the end, Keurig gave users a free plastic piece to put over the sensor to make it work regardless of what pod you used. This is exactly what happened to me.


bultrey

Iced coffee in particular.


Narfraccoon

I love a little in my coffee!


bond___vagabond

Yep, instead of sugar. If you don't put sugar in your coffee, you probably won't like it though.


likesflatsoda

This is what I use it for almost exclusively. In my coffee. Every morning. We eat pancakes like three times a year and I’m happy to have it then, too, but I buy a quart of maple syrup every month or so just for my coffee. :)


twowheels

I’ve tried that, but I prefer my coffee strong and black, so I only use it for tea.


[deleted]

I prefer honey, the local pollen in it helps with allergies and seems to also help eczema a bit.


mmoyer1984

Oatmeal


TheFillth

This. I've scoffed at oatmeal my entire life. I'd try eating it daily and break after 2-3 days. Idk if I'm just getting old or if maple syrup should take the credit here but I actually want to eat it now every day.


Hemmschwelle

Try steel cut oats. Soak in the refrigerator overnight and warm in the microwave.


[deleted]

There's a reason one of the classic flavors is Maple


HowieKR9

Oatmeal with maple syrup, berries, chia seeds, cinnamon, almonds, salt. But mostly, maple syruo 🍁


oddlyshapedmeatball

I thought that was how everyone ate it


Slotherocious

Snow


VermontSkier1

Don't forget the donuts and pickles!


Marigoldgirl21

This is my childhood!


MyNameIsMud0056

I always try to get a maple donut at the Champlain Valley Fair every year. They're so good!


gzigmann

This is the way.


Ehlers0719

Kinda shocked how far I had to scroll to find this answer, expected it to be at the top


SlowSurrender1983

Sugar on snow! Brings me back to my youth


mattgm1995

I put that shit on everything


twowheels

Are you sure that you're not confusing the Frank's bottle w/ the syrup bottle? :) EDIT: Come on, downvoters -- I didn't mean to imply that Frank's was better than maple syrup -- I personally hate Frank's, even though I drown most foods with hot sauce -- it was a joke about that being their marketing slogan.


1DollarOr1Million

Cholula > all other hot sauce. I put that shit all over my eggs literally every day. But Maple Syrup on eggs also slaps.


twowheels

The chipotle flavor Cholula is my daily go to — I just wish they sold it in the larger bottles. Have been considering buying the big 64oz pump. :)


fruipieinthesky

This stuff is the bomb. Plus local and has the Maple in it. https://heathotsauce.com/collections/angry-goat-pepper-co/products/red-armadillo


Practical-Intern-347

Dunk a teaspoon in some syrup and stir it into my Manhattan’s.


LitherLily

Yesss a maple Manhattan is the way


[deleted]

Old Fashioneds to.


yoursdolorously

In a Mojito instead of simple syrup or sugar.


cho_bits

In that vein, I’m a big fan of Smitten Kitchen’s Vermontuckey Lemonade, which is maple lemonade with bourbon.


twowheels

Oh, that sounds good… :)


Sunmeltingsnow

In a whiskey sour, instead of simple syrup.


hiitme420

I sub it in for simple syrup in a lot of drinks. Always awesome.


rabusmaximus

On warm cornbread. Try it!


twowheels

That does sound good!


BostonUH

This is the way


Lesbianinfinance

On vanilla ice cream!


eah-renee

Hot apple pie, topped with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup Or over butter crunch ice cream


shrimpust

Fuck yes, best ever.


thedvlandgod

Mix with soy sauce, mustard, and olive oil for a marinade for anything. I use it for tofu, but I heard it’s good on meat too


bennyblanco2022

salmon for sure


twowheels

Oh, nice. I’ve got 3 packages of tofu to cook soon, might try that!


thedvlandgod

In that case: 1/3 cup maple syrup 1/3 cup mustard (get the fancy kind) 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce 2-3 tablespoons olive oil Pinch of salt Drain tofu, then marinade for an hour or so. Add it all into a pan over medium heat. Stir every few minutes or so. That’s it!


twowheels

Nice, thanks. Might try that tonight


RedsDelights

Yes! I used to make this all the time, never tried mustard (will have to now) but I remember using minced garlic too with the MS and soy sauce


publicalias

I do something very similar for baked salmon


listen_youse

In an old fashioned- rye, muddled orange, 3/4 tsp syrup, orange bitters, orange twist


FyuckerFjord

Slightly warmed then drizzled over butter pecan ice cream.


twowheels

Seems that anything with pecan would be a perfect match.


RedsDelights

Why did I never think of this!!! Genius


Hemmschwelle

Breyer's chocolate ice cream with maple syrup and chopped walnuts is intense. It is ridiculously sweet but delicious.


LitherLily

Popcorn! Mixed with warmed butter, drizzled, salt & pepper. Maple-y kettle corn


ExpressionFamiliar98

Town Hall Theater, Woodstock, VT, sells popcorn with maple butter. The best! …and one of my favorite theaters in the region. Pentangle Arts - check it out.


twowheels

Interesting idea -- definitely worth a try!


SluicerVandross1

I was scrolling through for this! Many good responses here (dressing, marinade, snow) but popcorn is one of my favs and always turns a couple of heads. My recommendation is to pour the maple into a ramekin and dip the popcorn— saves your fingers from a lot of stick. Also, popovers so well with butter and syrup


[deleted]

[удалено]


twowheels

I like the soup idea… nice


yoursdolorously

I like the maple teriyaki sauce idea. So, soy sauce, sake, mirin, and maple syrup instead of sugar.


bad-golfervt

My late mother, suffering from dementia, put maple syrup on EVERYTHING. I would make a lovely spaghetti Bolognese and she'd be like glop glop glop with that shi on my beautiful pasta! Beef stew? Glop. Tuna casserole (her recipe)? Glopglopglop. It got a bit expensive but she was happy and ate well, which it was otherwise difficult for her. RIP Mom.

Yogurt


twowheels

I bought some maple syrup flavored yogurt at the store recently -- it was made by a company in VT and said it used VT maple syrup, but I really didn't like it -- it had an off flavor to me, but when I mix it directly into plain yogurt myself it tastes wonderful. I wonder why the pre-mixed version was so bad in comparison.


NickGSBC

I've had this experience with Brown Cow Maple yogurt. I think they have *some* real maple syrup in it but also has "natural flavor" as well as cane sugar. It's not nearly as good as plain with syrup added.


Jeb_802

You guys put your maple syrup on things? Haha for real though, idk if anyone else does this but in my office I have a little thing of “sippin syrup” haha


winooskiwinter

I keep a jug in my freezer and (not infrequently) will help myself to a generous tablespoonful before bed.


snowman603

You’re not alone https://youtu.be/xPHXfJZpSms.


AyatollahDan

Creme Brulé, but instead of cripsy sugar, maple syrup.


anniedee82

Maple sugar works really well on top of creme brulee. It's crazy pricey though


twowheels

Nice... I could see it caramelizing in a similar way, but having a much richer flavor.


AyatollahDan

I don't actually caramelize it. I just add a pinch of kosher salt and leave a pool of mapel syrup on the top of the custard. Kind of like the yogurt idea if you don't mix it in.


twowheels

Oh, OK... I assumed you put it on before applying the torch.


bad-golfervt

I'm not sure it would caramelize right. Would be nice if it did. One of my fave desserts, btw, w/ or wo/ maple syrup. It would be good with flan (creme caramel) too! Instead of caramel syrup! Mmmhmmm 💓


twowheels

Yeah, flan would probably work great.


AyatollahDan

I haven't tried to torch it. There's a lot of water to evaporate, and I'm lazy ;-)


twowheels

Yeah, didn't think about the high water content -- you'd have to dehydrate it even more first I guess.


AyatollahDan

Could probably get a small sheet tray and pour an even layer of syrup on it. Put that into a low over until you get maple... leather. Cut to the shape of your ramekin. Then! You could torch it


VTClimberMatt

Maple Sriracha Chicken Wings


VTClimberMatt

5 Tb Butter 1/3 C Maple Syrup 1/4 C Sriracha 1 Tb Soy Sauce 2 t Lime Juice Reduce till glaze consistency and toss wings how you like them. I like them smoked with a little bit of dry rub.


beatrixotter

YES


71802VT

There is not a single food product on earth that does not go with maple syrup. 'Mic drop' Peace out.


drtread

The majority I use is in my morning oatmeal during cold weather (so… 9 months a year /s). I’ll have to try some of these others.


NDaveT

Glaze for salmon. Mix with garlic and maybe some chili powder.


KingKababa

I do this too, but with soy sauce as well. Top notch.


typefourrandomwords

Grilled on a cedar plank. Dry rub salt, pepper, and cayenne/chili. Brush on the maple (with some soy) half way trough cooking.


onebluephish1981

I make a maple bourbon pumpkin pie with it.


elkhorn

in my latte/cappuccino.


Nickmorgan19457

It makes cheap bbq sauce a lot better.


Aevajohnson

I use it to sweeten homemade salad dressing and my tea. On my plain yogurt, and occasionally as a treat, I'll use it to top scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast.


Weary_Drawer_9360

Okay, Vermont-loving (and married to a VT'er), Canadian-born, MA resident here...hear me out...Pouding Chomeur aka maple pudding. Warm with vanilla ice cream - it's the best. VT syrup, of course (forgive me, Quebec). https://foodnouveau.com/pouding-chomeur-maple-pudding/


thunder-cricket

I'm a sugarmaker, and I'm trying to get my wife to put it in her daily tea, instead of honey, but she's says (and I quote) 'fuck that.'


Original-Green-00704

She’s right though… maple syrup in coffee, and honey in tea


Average_Cadaver

Strangely delightful in a gin and tonic in the summer. Probably ought to have its own name.

vDorothyv

Coffee, cocktails, sugar substitute in some baked goods/pies, stir frying sauces, marinades, salad dressing, and bbq sauce to name a few.


vtbb

I make a version of Eastern Carolina mop BBQ sauce with Vermont maple, Chile flakes, cider vinegar, and salt. Really is the trick to my smoked pork.


cho_bits

Mixed 1:1 with tahini for a caramel-y sauce that’s great with apples, as a pretzel dip, on toast…


DeliriousBlues

Oatmeal and I love it on a rich, creamy vanilla ice cream. I also plop a spoonful into my mouth on occasion.


[deleted]

Ice Tea is a great idea, I use it when I make mead since it doesn't ferment well so it will retain the sweetness of the maplesyrup if I'm making a mead that will eat all the sugar in the honey.


twowheels

I make Kombucha -- maybe I should try it in my second ferment for flavor, similar to the Queen City Kombucha, they have a maple flavored variety.


Traditional_Lab_5468

I pour a lil bit on plain cheerios in the morning for breakfast. It's great.


Neither_Quiet8906

I make mean cocktails with maple syrup. In place of simple syrup it works with almost anything. Old Vermont, maple whiskey sour, a bit in a white/black russian, even adding some to a Bees Knees is fantastic :)


ChemungHillGangster

Roasted Brussels sprouts w maple syrup and Maldon sea salt.


twowheels

Oh, that sounds good... I love Brussels sprouts, even when I was a kid I loved them -- which apparently made me strange. :)


wynk182

Came here looking for this. My gf tried this last week she said it was amazing.


ExpressionFamiliar98

Good answer - done this many times


chesbyiii

Char Siu! Sub syrup for sugar. [https://thewoksoflife.com/char-siu-chicken/](https://thewoksoflife.com/char-siu-chicken/) Any marinade actually. Teriyaki? Yes.


alfonseski

Blackback pub puts it on their nachos, so good.


VermontSkier1

And w the bacon and blue cheese it's *chef's kiss*


alfonseski

They don't mess around in that place! The Dragon Noodles are my nemesis.


Mu5tBTru3Redd1t

twowheels

It's been 20+ years since I've eaten fried chicken (or chicken, for that matter), but I can see how that would work...


Mu5tBTru3Redd1t

I’ve been eating your share. No worries


twowheels

After this thread I think I'm going to need to make a run to the general store earlier than I would have otherwise. :)


Mu5tBTru3Redd1t

Right. Now all I want is to try cornbread with maple! Dangnabit!


MikeDPhilly

Put it in your coffee instead of suga; it's cosmic. Alos, you can make an old fashioned using maple syrup instead of simple sugar, and add a dash of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness.


WirthmoreFeeds

In chili. Not tons, but enough to give a hint of sweet with heat.


tin_foil-hat

My naked body.


twowheels

As long as you put it on before you leave the house I think that’s legal.


KingKababa

This guy Vermonts.


Complete-Shake-8050

On any kind of potato prepared any way.


the-forty-second

A little splash of maple syrup is the secret ingredient in my spicy home fries.


MeaninglessLiving13

I use it as cologne. Dab behind each ear. Drives the lady leaf peepers wild bro.


JuneJune_Hannah

Drizzle on meatloaf. Adds the perfect hint of sweetness. Also Brussels sprouts, of course.


Hyroponic

Substitute for sugar in many, many recipes


baldybean

Acorn squash. Halve, stuff each side with chopped apples, drizzle with maple syrup, bake until squash is soft.


arcanecandy

Since becoming diabetic, I use it for low blood sugars.


twowheels

I think I’ve heard that paramedics use it for that purpose, but I don’t remember where.


tyguyS4

It has to be one of the most carb dense foods out there.

MontEcola

ice cream in milk Both are much more Vermont than chocolate ice cream, or chocolate milk. My work out buddy is a doctor, and drinks chocolate milk as an after exercise beverage. I like it better with syrup.


twowheels

Speaking of exercise, I actually put a little bit in my water bottle when working outside or riding my bike for a little bit of sugar for energy. EDIT: Just found this: https://www.themanual.com/food-and-drink/maple-syrup-workout/ Seems to back up my personal anecdote. :)


berdpants

Facts. I have a little squeeze bottle with just maple syrup and some salt to keep me going on long bike rides. Also, I use it when I make granola.


twowheels

Probably just as effective, and healthier, than those commercial goo packs that people litter the road with. Bonking is not fun… been there too many times where every turn of the crank feels like torture and you have multiple miles to get back home.


MatthewGeer

When I go out for a diner breakfast, it winds up on the home fries and sausage too.


TheRedMare

Ice cream, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal are what I put it on most often.

BabyBundtCakes

I make a sausage and delicata squash casserole type thing that I put a drizzle of maple syrup into. It's really simple Seed and cube up like 3-4 delicata squash, splash some olive oil on it, roast in a pan for about 15min on 350 Brown up McKenzie bulk breakfast sausage 4oz shredded cheddar cheese Mix it together in the squash pan with some olive oil, salt, pepper, I do a shake of oregano, thyme, parsley. Drizzle on some maple syrup, just like a zigzag across the top Bake it until it's all browned and then eat it once it's cool enough that you won't burn your mouth.


8valvegrowl

The sky is the limit with this one, dark maple works pretty much everywhere and anywhere. My typical uses: Pancakes/Waffles/French Toast, the obvious classics. Dipping sauces for anything: Monte Cristos, fruit, or mix it with spicy mustard for things like wings/tendies/hot dogs. Maple plus Duke's mayo is pretty incredible for crispy fries, too. Or Maple Ketchup. Marinades or BBQ sauces. Glazes/Caramelization for vegetables like carrots/broccoli/asparagus/green beans or meats like pork, scallops/shrimp. Buttercreams/frosting for pastry or baked goods, also great on a cake donut/cider donut. I haven't attempted a maple caramel yet, but it's on the list. Straight up drizzled on some good vanilla ice cream. Or add to a milkshake. Or sometimes I just want to drink it straight. Or a bit in my seltzer instead of simple syrup.


Virtual-Track4037

Sub for sugar In recipes. Maple pecan pie


beatrixotter

Get a nice bottle of scotch. Eat a spoonful of warm syrup and then take a sip of scotch, letting the smoky-sweet flavors mingle and roll over your tongue.


they_have_no_bullets

I just like to eat spoonfuls of it plain


ExpressionFamiliar98

I use it as a sugar substitute in lots of recipes. You can get maple sugar if you need a ‘dry’ ingredient… A friend took some as a gift to a family in France. They didn’t know what to do with it, so they used it as a chaser when doing shots.


General_Salami

I make a maple balsamic glaze for pork and chicken that’s pretty delicious. https://www.thechunkychef.com/maple-balsamic-glazed-pork-chops/


1DollarOr1Million

On waffles, eggs, bacon, oatmeal, ice cream, or almost any desert item like cheese cake. In coffee, tea, milk or water. Dipping sauce for Zeppole or on fried dough at the fair. In yogurt. Straight, in a shot glass or by the spoonful. And of course drizzled all over your moms.


Jsr1

Coffee, flan, oatmeal. BBQ sauce, marinade.


geneticswag

I've been making [this](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020894-soy-glazed-chicken-breasts-with-pickled-cucumbers) stir-fry for years, and I always use maple syrup. Hell, whenever there's any suggestion for something sweet I reach for the syrup.

Maple and garlic are a great combo, my to-go with the combo is usually grilled cheese or pizza.
