Maple sugar provides sweetness to your baked goods, porridge, hot beverages and more, while also adding a warm, subtle flavour.
Produced by reducing maple sap beyond the point where it becomes syrup, this fine, granular sugar has been used as a sweetener for centuries in the USA and Canada.
When used in your favourite biscuit, cake, slice or other baking recipe, this sugar imparts a subtle maple flavour, with warm caramel notes.
Sprinkled across oatmeal or porridge, it also adds a lovely crunch.
Maple sugar’s flavour is also a perfect match for warm drinks. Use it in your coffee and tea or, for something truly decadent, add it to a hot buttered rum.
Use in the toppings of fruit crumbles, give a little sweetness to creamy Greek yoghurt or sprinkle over a panna cotta for a delicious crunch.
Add to cream cheese icing on your next carrot cake for a wonderful flavour boost.
Not a sweet-tooth? Maple sugar is great in savoury dishes too. Try it in a homemade barbecue sauces, baked beans, pork rib marinade, salad dressing or, for the adventurous, home-cured maple bacon.
As an all-natural sugar, maple sugar is also the perfect choice for those looking to avoid artificial sweeteners.
Due to maple sugar’s sweetness, when substituting white sugar for it in a recipe, reduce the amount needed by 1/4 – 1/3.
