The Complete Guide
Ways To Use It
- Spread. Toast, English muffins, biscuits, scones and warm croissants. It melts into the bread the way honey does but stays put better.
- Breakfast topping. A spoonful on oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes or waffles in place of syrup, with none of the running off the plate.
- Glaze. Brush it over roasted squash, sweet potatoes or carrots in the last 10 minutes, or over ham, salmon or bacon.
- Frosting shortcut. Beat it with softened butter and a little cream cheese for a maple frosting on cinnamon rolls, carrot cake or cupcakes.
- Cheese board. It pairs with aged cheddar, blue cheese, brie and a handful of walnuts.
- Drinks. Stir a teaspoon into coffee, hot milk or a hot toddy.
Tips And Common Mistakes
- Let it warm up. Straight from the fridge it is firm. Ten minutes on the counter, or a spoon run under hot water, makes it spreadable.
- A thin layer of syrup on top is normal. Pure maple cream separates a little as it sits. Stir it back in with a dry knife.
- Keep water out of the jar. A wet spoon leaves the surface prone to mold. Use a clean, dry utensil every time.
- Use less than you would honey. The flavor is concentrated maple, so a thin smear carries a whole slice of toast.
- Do not boil it. For glazes and sauces, warm it gently or add it at the end. High heat takes it back to syrup and darkens the flavor.
Who It's For
- Anyone who loves real maple syrup and wants it in spreadable form
- Vegan and dairy-free households looking for a rich spread that is not butter or nut butter
- Bakers who want a one-ingredient maple frosting or filling
- Gift baskets and holiday breakfast tables, where the jar does the talking
Recipes to Make
Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Shady Maple Farms Organic Maple Butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
Steps
- Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the maple butter and salt and beat until combined.
- Beat in the powdered sugar a little at a time until the frosting is thick enough to hold a swirl.
- Spread on cooled carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin bread or spice cupcakes.
Tip: For a firmer pipeable frosting, chill it 20 minutes before piping.
Maple Butter Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1 inch chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp Shady Maple Farms Organic Maple Butter
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- Pinch of cayenne or black pepper
- Flaky salt and chopped pecans to finish
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425 F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the oil and salt and spread on a sheet pan.
- Roast 25 minutes, turning once, until tender and browned at the edges.
- Warm the maple butter with the butter and cayenne in a small pan just until melted together.
- Pour over the hot potatoes, toss, and roast 5 more minutes until glossy. Finish with flaky salt and pecans.
Tip: Add the glaze at the end, not the start. Maple sugars burn before the potatoes cook through.
Maple Butter Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 3/4 cups milk or water
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp Shady Maple Farms Organic Maple Butter
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Sliced banana or chopped apple and toasted walnuts
Steps
- Simmer the oats, milk and salt over medium-low heat, stirring now and then, 6 to 8 minutes until creamy.
- Take off the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of the maple butter and the cinnamon.
- Divide between two bowls, top with fruit and walnuts, and dot the remaining maple butter on top so it melts in as you eat.
Tip: Stirring maple butter in off the heat keeps the flavor bright instead of cooked.
Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
Is it vegan?
Yes. It is made from maple syrup and nothing else, so there is no dairy, honey or animal ingredient in it.
How is maple butter made?
Pure maple syrup is heated, cooled quickly and then stirred until the sugar forms tiny crystals and the syrup turns thick, pale and creamy. No butter or cream is added. It is also sold as maple cream or maple spread, which are the same product.
Why is there a layer of syrup on top?
Natural separation. Some syrup settles out of the crystallized cream over time, especially if the jar sat warm. Stir it back in and it is fine.
Why did it get hard in the fridge?
The sugar crystals firm up when cold. Let the jar sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes or warm your knife under hot water, and it spreads again.
Can I use it in place of maple syrup in a recipe?
Yes, close to measure for measure. It is a little more concentrated and much thicker, so it is better than syrup anywhere you want the maple to stay put, like a filling, frosting or glaze.
How long does an open jar last?
Refrigerated with a dry spoon, several months. Go by the date on the jar, and discard it if you see any mold on the surface.
