Having grown up in Vermont, I have a true affinity for real maple syrup and cannot be fooled by substitutes. The arrival of maple cream, maple sugar candy, or maple syrup is cause for a moment of silence in my home. It is a burst of nature\u2019s wonder in my mouth that satisfies my soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bounty of maple-based products goes far beyond the traditional maple syrup on pancakes.

Consider using the UMaine Extension\u2019s<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/publications\/4029e\/recipes-4\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rolled Oats Convenience Mix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to make your next batch of pancakes. Rolled oats are a source of whole grains and provide a boost of fiber beyond typical pancake recipes. Preparing and using your own homemade convenience mix is a way for busy families to be prepared in advance for those early morning pancake breakfast requests while saving money and having greater control over the nutritional value of foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using Maple Syrup in Baking<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are wondering how much maple syrup you should use in place of white sugar, it depends on whether that recipe is for baking or general cooking. Use the following guide when using maple syrup in your baked recipes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Instead of 1 cup granulated sugar, u<\/b><b>se 3\/4 cup maple syrup.<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Granulated sugar is less sweet than maple syrup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>In baking, decrease liquid by 2 to 4 tablespoons per cup of syrup used.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Maple syrup contains more moisture than the granulated sugar that the recipe calls for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Add 1\/4 to 1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda.*<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Maple syrup has a slight acidity that needs to be neutralized for the batter to rise and form properly. *Do not add additional baking soda if the recipe calls for buttermilk, sour milk or sour cream since these liquids do the same thing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Decrease oven temperature by 25 degrees.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Maple syrup will tend to caramelize and burn on the top and edges quicker than a batter using a dry sweetener like sugar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using Maple Syrup in Cooking<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To substitute maple syrup for sugar in other types of general cooking, use three quarters of maple syrup as the sugar called for.

Straight-sided glass jars (ex. wide mouth canning jars) are the preferred vessel for freezing in. Leave at least 1\u201d of headspace to allow for expansion and remember to label and date your jars. Frozen syrup can stay in your freezer indefinitely but may have some quality loss over time. Once you remove the jars from the freezer to use, they need to be stored in the refrigerator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enjoy the sweetness of the season!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mainemapleproducers.com\/events\/maine-maple-weekend\/#!directory\/map\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maine Maple Weekend<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/publications\/4029e\/recipes-4\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rolled Oats Convenience Mix<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2014 By Kathy Savoie, Extension Educator, University of Maine Cooperative Extension There is no better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than to enjoy the true New England flavor of real maple syrup.
