Kalmia Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Maple Lemonade 6 cups water 8 lemons freshly squeezed 3/4 cup maple syrup Mix by hand or in a blender. It is heavenly. p.s. You can increase or decrease the amount of lemon or maple syrup to taste. Edited August 9, 2016 by Kalmia 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It keeps forever, although it never lasts long here..lol. It makes a wonderful coffee sweetener :) Especially for iced coffee. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Native Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Give it to me? .....Or used as a sweetener for just about anything works. Specifically oatmeal, yogurt, mixed in cereal, homemade granola, or cookies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 In baking & cooking, swap it in for honey or molasses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It will keep just fine until opened in your pantry. Just use it as you usually would, and once you open it keep it in the fridge if you don't go through it quickly, because it can, eventually, mold once opened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You can pour out of the big opened jug into smaller mason jars & freeze for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd293 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Drink it straight out the bottle when no one is looking. i actually drank the last tablespoon out of the bottle yesterday and thought to myself "Maybe this is why Canadians seem so cheerful." 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 You can use it as a regular liquid sweetener in recipes. I like to make these easy-peasy sticky buns and use maple syrup instead of corn syrup. When I was a kid growing up in Michigan, we went sugaring. We then (well the adults) boiled down the sap and we poured it on snow and made maple sugar candy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katilac Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It will keep just fine until opened in your pantry. Just use it as you usually would, and once you open it keep it in the fridge if you don't go through it quickly, because it can, eventually, mold once opened. The mold stays on the surface and is easily removed, though. Just pour it into a bowl so you can skim the surface. The recommended thing is to then boil the syrup again, but I know people who have never bothered to do that :tongue_smilie: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El... Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It adds a very nice flavor when used instead of sugar! I occasionally made chocolate pudding with cocoa powder, cornstarch, milk, and maple syrup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 At the original Ben and Jerry's, in Vermont, warm maple syrup was one of the optional toppings for an ice cream sundae. That got me hooked. Nothing better on vanilla bean ice cream, or cinnamon ice cream. Also, it keeps in the freezer for ages once opened. Like, years. It doesn't freeze solid but it's still preserved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madteaparty Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It doesn't go bad :) I wanted to buy little jars of maple syrup from a local place for a party we were having. Anyway I ended up with real-size jars and I never held the party. We just now finished it all (couple of years later) and this with me giving jars away.
