Straight from Canada, maple syrup is a must for sweet recipes, like crepes and pancakes. But have you ever tried it in a savory preparation?
If there’s one food we think of when we imagine Canada, it’s undoubtedly maple syrup.
From the maple sap reduction (the sap is boiled to evaporate the water and concentrate the sugar), maple syrup has become the emblem of Canada, and more particularly of Quebec. There are some four types: golden, light and versatile, amber, whose flavor is more delicate, dark, with more pronounced notes, approaching caramel, then very dark, whose taste can even lead to a certain bitterness .
In France, we are used to consuming maple syrup with sweet snackslike pancakes or crepes. But have you ever tried this elixir in a savory recipe? You might love it.
