Guidelines and suggestions for cooking with Sugarbush Run Maple Syrup

Maple syrup can be used as a substitute for corn syrup, molasses and honey (liquid sweeteners) or as a substitute for granulated white or brown sugar (dry sweeteners).

for 1 cup granulated sugar use ¾ - 1 ¼ cup maple syrup (syrup is less sweet than granulated, more syrup may be needed).
decrease liquids by 2 – 4 tablespoons for every one cup of syrup that you use (syrup has more moisture than solid granulated sugar).
add ¼ - ½ teaspoons baking soda (syrup has a slight acid and soda will neutralize it. Not needed in recipes using buttermilk, sour milk, or sour cream).
decrease oven temperature by 25 degrees (maple tends to caramelize and burn on the top and edges more quickly).
melt or measure butter in cup before measuring syrup (syrup will then easily slide out).
use darker syrup to provide a heartier and stronger maple taste.
