homerfrizzell Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just received a half gallon of Vermont maple syrup for my birthday. I think it's going to last awhile. What would you do with it? (I see lots of BBQ in the years to come.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I make my own granola with it as a sweetener. That way, I control the amount of sugar and the type of grains used. http://paleomg.com/paleo-granola/ I sometimes use the honey and sometimes not. Subbed coconut syrup at times, too. There are many other recipes out there like this and you can just tinker with them. I use maple syrup with oil and bourbon to marinade salmon before grilling. Also a marinade with coconut aminos/maple syrup/dijon mustard. No amounts; just dump Stir it into mashed butternut squash or sweet potato to your liking. I have a great holiday sweet potato bake that is basically this: cooked/mashed sweet potato, ghee, maple syrup, lemon juice, sea salt, eggs (2-4, depending on the amount of potato used). Beat all together with hand mixer, put in baking dish, top with pecans and a little more butter or ghee (can add brown sugar) and bake at 350 for 30 mins. Pour the syrup into the (clean) snow and lift out with a stick. YUM And, finally, SO GOOD: http://www.amazingpaleo.com/2013/03/26/orange-maple-glazed-brussels-sprouts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I would make this recipe, subbing maple syrup for the brown sugar.http://www.closetcooking.com/2010/05/maple-dijon-roasted-asparagus.html Or this one.http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/04/bacon-wrapped-caramelized-sesame-asparagus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Oh, I forgot: the ladies who come to the co-op and buy a gallon of the best maple syrup use it with cayenne pepper for a great fasting 'diet'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there are lemons involved in this 'diet', no? I'll take my skirt steak over butt burning lemonade any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
