Runamok maple at Calef's

March is maple month in New England. Warm days and cool nights mean the sap is running! Sugar maple trees are being tapped to collect sap to make maple syrup. While there are a lot of fun ways to celebrate maple month, here at Calef’s we try out different maple syrups and experiment with ways to use maple in our kitchens.

Here are some of our favorite ways to use maple, from adding a drop into a coffee to creating baked treats.

Maple as a sweetener, in coffee

Maple is an all-natural sweetener and better alternative to refined sugar and artificial creamers. Maple can add so much flavor to your coffee. We recommend adding 1-2 tablespoons to your coffee.

Maple as a marinade or glaze, try kielbasa bites
