Featured Recipes

We live, breathe and cook with maple around here. Over the course of many years of experimentation we have accumulated a stack of recipes that have been tested, improved and repeated until they are just right. We present them in three categories: Drink, Eat, and Indulge. ‘Drink’ is mostly cocktails but there are a few non-alcoholic beverages as well, including the very simple and delicious Maple Milk. ‘Eat’ showcases how maple enhances savory dishes and ‘Indulge’ speaks for itself. New recipes are added regularly, so please subscribe or check in to see what our featured recipe is and feel free to send us your own ideas through the Contact page.

DRINK

The Wardrobe Malfunction

Grounded with tequila and just a little sweet, with a naughty little peak of ginger spice.

Maple Rhubarb Sling

Rhubarb is the yin to maple’s yang. Add gin to really find that inner peace.

Matt’s Margarita

The most simple, best tasting margarita you will ever try.

The Dooryard

A most excellent cocktail from our friends at The Hearth and Candle: Bourbon, ice cider, Cardamom Infused Maple Syrup and bitters.

Prancer’s Punch

Holiday cheer in a glass.

Peppermint-rimmed Hot Cocoa

A fun drink for post-snowball fights.

Cheater’s Chai

An easy way to make masala chai, Vermont style.

Smoke and Mirrors

A perfect drink for a crisp, fall evening, using rye whiskey, pear juice and Pecan Wood Smoked maple syrup.

Maple Mai Tai

It is true that winters here linger about six weeks longer than most folks can tolerate, but there is nothing so gorgeous as a Vermont summer. While the rest of the country is showing very dark shades of red on the weather map, we enjoy 70s during the day and cool, decidedly unsticky nights.

Peach Sangria

I’ll buy raspberries and occasionally melons in winter. Fresh tomatoes are purchased in winter only under extreme duress. But not peaches. Never peaches. Peaches are only their true selves in July and August. And with all due respect to growers north of the Mason-Dixon, they have to come from southern USA.

The perfect summer relish for hot dogs, chicken, pork or shrimp. The Rum Barrel-Aged Maple syrup makes it.

Maple Hot Wings

If they are not crispy, chicken wings can be a big disappointment. I never cared for them until I tried a recipe that involved baking them in high heat for almost an hour. Wow, what a difference. Most of the fat is rendered, leaving crispy skin and tender meat. ...

A classic version updated with a hint of maple and Thai lime. This one’s a keeper.

Two tree products make for an awfully great ice cream.

Maple and Orange Tea Cake

This cake is another example of substituting maple syrup for any recipe that calls for making caramel. I saw this recipe in Better Homes and Gardens (February, 2017) and immediately decided it had a higher calling with maple. Essentially you make an orange cake...
