Hot + Spicy Maple Syrup (Smoked Chili Pepper Infused)
Hot + Spicy Maple Syrup (Smoked Chili Pepper Infused)
Spicy Maple Syrup has never been so good. Instead of infusing our maple syrup with a generic hot chili blend, we’ve selected Merquén to deliver our heat of choice.
Merquén is a chili blend from the Mapuche region of Chile. The peppers are ripened to a dark red color to develop rich flavor then slow smoked over a fire. When we infuse them in our maple syrup, all of the profiles of the pepper — the heat, the smokiness and the rich pepper taste are magnified by the caramel tones of the maple.
Use this one over cheddar cheese, bbq, vinaigrettes, roasted vegetables or meats. And just a half teaspoon in a cocktail will give the drink a bit of spice and mystery.
Please note: while our maple syrup is certified organic by Vermont Organic Farmers, our Merquén blend has not been certified organic.

It’s amazing
Cooking tip: five minutes before chicken wings come out of the oven mix 3 tbsp of this and some honey, baste it on and put it back in the oven for a sweet and spicy sticky glaze!
It’s also just amazing!
This was a total surprise!! I recommend this on brussels sprouts
The flavor profile was excellent. I love the spice, I loved everything about this. It will be in my cabinets at all times. Excellent quality and absolutely love it.
I love flavor and the plantain crusted shishito pepper recipe is fantastic with this
Imagine the horror when I learned the chipotle honey Runamok offered was no longer available! Then seeing then the maple syrup version , ordered it up and boom, I’m happy again! The amount of heat is just right, and a nice kick to my waffles that I add some peanut butter to (don’t judge). Next is using this in baking, to add that slight touch of heat with sweet. Runamok products are so great, add this to my list of favorites.

I absolutely love this flavor.
This is my absolute favorite!!!!
I love the complexity of the flavors.
I actually got this for the recipe you posted, the plantain crusted shsito peppers with hot and spicy maple aioli made from this syrup. We are actually featuring it at our holiday party at work (I'm abhead baker/chef at a private school).
Absolutely amazing in Cocktails!
Always perfect for pankcakes!
This was a gift for someone that loves his cocktails.
He loved it.
Really good on chicken.
So tasty! I first bought this years ago when I saw it in a shop. Recently, I was thinking about how tasty it was and spent a long time trying to remember what brand it was. Luckily, I remembered and was able to track it down and order more.
It has been wonderful to make bourbon drinks with it! Sweet spicy and smoky the perfect match to a delicious bourbon.
Was gift for my son in law. He loved it!
Love your Maple products. Your packaging is AWESOME and made for great gift giving! Maybe you could make Maple salad dressings?? Thanks! Pam
Make my ancho cocoa cinnamon coffee with it!
Love this flavor!!!
Awesome sweet and spicy flavor. The best Vermont maple syrup combined with a deep, rich medium spiced Merquen pepper makes out of this world pancakes!
I am in love with this,
I have used it to make ribs, pork chops, candied bacon and I keep trying to find new ways to use it
It has been amazing. I can’t believe I never thought of this paring
As a Chilean I am so excited about this.
I recommend it to everyone I can.
A great, smokey flavor - not too strong. Used it with roasted veggies.
The most amazing Maple Syrup we have ever had. Will look forward to adding to our collection.
Sweet, spicy, and smoky - cannot recommend enough!
well i cure my own pork belly for bacon, and decide to use your syrup to replace my regular old syrup, wow
this was a hit ! i made pork belly candy ! awesome
Excellent on grilled salmon! Actually, I’m thinking it would be good on almost anything.
Will continue to purchase this one!
Blends superbly with autumn vegetable flavors
We just loved it, mixing flavors from both poles is just awesome. Congratulations.
The flavor is rich and smoky with a slow burn... try it when roasting or slow-cooking meats or in a fruit salsa.
I hope that Runamok will consider adding 4-oz. (or 2-oz) options of all their flavors on the website so folks could create their own gift packs of favorite flavors.
Terrific!
I love it.
Best maple syrup I've ever had, I'm 58.
