Maple Syrup

Spring is maple syrup time here in eastern Canada. We have a maple tree - but don't tap it for syrup. But we do buy syrup. We usually buy big containers and transfer the syrup into glass jars. The metal containers can leave a gray residue on the syrup in the bottom - and I don't want to throw any of it away! So I quickly transfer it to jars and freeze it.

We eat maple syrup all year long - on pancakes and waffles, but also on ice cream and in plain yogurt! I also mix a little into crumb toppings for fruit crisp to add a special flavor...

It also makes a delicious glaze on baked squash!
