Sugarmaker’s Dark Wood Fired Maple Syrup
April’s Bottle of the Month features one of our newest, most popular products: Sugarmaker’s Dark Wood Fired Maple Syrup. We partner with smaller sugarmakers across the state of Vermont who still produce maple syrup “the old fashioned way”, using wood to fire their evaporators. Using wood to turn sap to syrup takes longer than modern, oil-fired rigs, and the extra time over the flame brings out different characteristics in the syrup. The end result is a robust flavor that will take on a stack of waffles and robe them in bold, maple goodness. April is also the typical time of year when sugarmakers are producing a darker syrup (which comes later in the sugaring season) so we only found it appropriate to spotlight.
Below are some of our favorite recipes featuring Sugarmaker’s Dark:
Last Month's Bottle
March’s Bottle of the Month was from our collaboration series with Burlap and Barrel. Burlap and Barrel’s Royal Cinnamon comes from the central region of Vietnam, an area known for its spicy, ‘red hot’ tasting cinnamon. Not to be confused with our own Cinnamon+Vanilla Infused Maple Syrup, this infusion has a truly unmistakable bite and is a must-try for any one that loves cinnamon. Drizzle over ice cream, add to coffee or tea, use in any baking recipes that call for cinnamon or play around with it as a dessert glaze – it’s out of this world good.
