Maple Mania
It’s that time of year in Quebec where maple syrup, a Canadian emblem and international pour-over-anything delight, is in season. This versatile ingredient is often used in sweet or savory dishes for its silky and sugary flavor and texture. Quebecers and tourists alike attend sugar shacks all around the province to get their sweet fix and indulge in special treats like maple taffy, maple pie, and a traditional regional breakfast with maple syrup drizzled over everything. If you can't make it to a sap house this season, make your own home a DIY sugar shack with these decadent recipes:
Pure Maple Butter
This spread is a truly decadent treat. Slather it on a piece of toast or an apple as a snack or substitute it for icing on a cake. It makes everything taste better!
Maple Candied Bacon
Initially, this might seem like an unusual pairing but once you try one of these crunchy candied goodies, you’ll regret how long you've gone in your life without ever making them.
Maple Scones
Perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea, these scones have just the right amount of sweetness and are best eaten with just a smidgen of butter.
Maple Sausage Patties
These sinfully delicious sausage patties give bacon a run for its money. Serve them with eggs and hashbrowns for your perfect brunch.
