Use Pure Maple Syrup

On ice cream, French toast, waffles, pancakes, baked ham, cottage cheese. To sweeten cereals, puddings, applesauce, baked fruit, broiled grapefruit, fruit juices. Baked beans have a darker, richer color and extra good flavor when baked with Maple Syrup. Syrup (cooked to a soft ball stage) on snow may be served as a year round treat. (Finely ground ice or a slab of ice made in a ice tray may be used to cool syrup in the summer time.)
