Syrup Season...Tomatoes and peppers are months away, but spring is right around the corner. Fortunately, these final days of winter are not without their rewards, particularly in the form of pure Ohio maple syrup, made by our Amish friends at
Green Field Farms.
It's the early-March combination of warm days and cold nights that starts the sap to flowing; and while turning it into syrup is a tremendously labor-intensive process, we're delighted that the old-time traditions still survive.
Sure, maple syrup is a classic this time of year on pancakes and waffles. But it also works wonders in baked goods, sauces, reductions, and glazes. Pair it with pork, add it to baked beans, drizzle it over ice cream, and whip it into Heini's butter for an all-Ohio slather, too.
Organic, artisanal, and incredibly delicious, pure Ohio maple syrup is available in two sizes. Go
