In the world of food trends, maple was in the running to beat out pumpkin spice as America’s favorite fall flavor a couple of years ago, but spring is when maple syrup is produced.

So, in New England, spring is when you’re most likely to start craving a maple-frosted doughnut, maple sugar candy, maple syrup slathered on pancakes, etc.

Really, though, many people like me all over the country love maple all year round! If I had to choose between pumpkin spice and maple, I would choose maple every time. (But it has to be real maple syrup, not that fake pancake syrup stuff.)

So while we may be running low on other essentials during this time of limited availability of common grocery-store items, we have a big jug of maple syrup that I just opened. It will last the two of us a while!

So far during these two weeks of staying at home, I’ve made the following recipes containing maple syrup:

I also made Sweet and Sour Coleslaw from Maple by Katie Webster (no photos). I reviewed Maple in a previous post, but The Charlotte News did a better job in its article Think Outside the Stack (of Pancakes).
