Barrel-aged Maple Syrup

I thought this was cute:



I recently heard about barrel-aged maple syrup, although it's not a new product. 
It is maple syrup aged 5 to 8 months in charred barrels, it comes out with a smoke flavour, great on pancakes. It would be interesting to try this.

I've never heard of barrel-aged maple syrup. But it sounds really tasty.

Wait they found a way to make maple syrup better? Those geniuses. I would always draw the sun in the corner of the page too. To be honest I think I still do. And a teacher taught me to draw birds by just making a flattened/elongated m. It works and again, something I still do to this day.

Christine said...

lol Mark, and what a great tip about drawing birds, will try that.

I always drew the sun in the corner of the paper too. I wonder where we all saw that. Thanks for the reminder of how far I actually have come. Have a great week Christine.

I bet we won't get that in the UK. We have a variety in the supermarket. I will try to buy the least commercial looking in future. I looked for balsamic hellmans on Saturday. Quite a few flavours but not balsamic. I bought my usual lighter and a lemon flavoured one. Calories same as light but it wasn't labeled light.

Forgot to say I drew sun in corner too, and I'm in the UK so it's not cultural.

I don't like maple syrup, I always prefer strawberry and blueberry flavors

Christine said...

sorry you didn't find the balsamic flavour, it is new so maybe it will show up there soon. I don't know the lemon flavoured kind.

Christine said...

The truth is I don't draw the sun in the corner everyone, I just thought it was cute!

I remember my first graders always drawing the sun in the corner of the paper all the time. It was so cheerful. Smoky maple syrup? Hmm... interesting. I did buy a bunch of maple syrup for gifts when we were in Canada.
