Maple and pancake syrups are great on pancakes, waffles and french toast. But what else do you make with them?

Dash of pepper (optional)
1/4 cup sliced, chopped or slivered almonds

Maple-Glazed Butternut Squash

2/3 cup water

Place all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Maple Rolls

Cinnamon

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in hot water (110º to 115º). Heat milk, sugar, shortening and salt. When cool, add to the yeast mixture. Stir in flour and knead two minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down and divide in half. Roll out 1/2 inch thick, spread with butter and sprinkle with a mixture of maple syrup, maple sugar and cinnamon. Roll up dough and slice into 3/4 inch pieces. Place sliced rolls into pan and let rise 45 minutes. Bake at 350º for 30 to 35 minutes. Invert pan to remove. Ice with Maple Frosting.

Maple Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp. maple syrup

Simple Maple Sponge Cake
Serves 10-12

1 cup maple syrup
6 eggs
1 cup flour
(1 tsp. vanilla-optional)

Separate eggs. Put whites in large bowl, yolks in medium bowl. Sift flour several times, put in small bowl. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Set aside. Beat yolks until light, add syrup (and vanilla if desired). Beat again to mix well. Pour yolk syrup mixture into whites and fold gently with wire whip until blended. Gradually add flour 1 tbsp. at a time while folding mixture. When blended, pour in large tube pan. (It seems to come out best for me if this pan is lightly greased with butter and dusted with flour). Bake at 325º for about 1 hr. Cool on rack, then remove cake from pan. This cake is especially good with no frosting but berries and whipped cream.

Mama, I had a huge Maple tree by my garden and needed to cut some good size branches off of it because they were blocking out the sun light. I spent some time and cut the thickest parts of the branches down to use as chips for smoking on the grill. I have several boxes of these chips and have several large sized freezer bags full of soaked chips in the deep freezer.
When I want to smoke chicken, pork or fish, I like to use the maple chips some times. The chips do give a nice maple flavor and it is a nice way to not waste my syrup that cost 18.00 for a small jug, lol.
One of my favorites though using the syrup is to make Maple Glazed Carrots.

I slice my carrots, 4 medium sized.
Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the carrot slices and gently saute until the slices start to become aldente.
Add 1/2 cup of Maple Syrup to coat the carrots and cook gently until glaze sets.

I might add a pinch of salt or a dash of cinnamon depending on the mood I'm in.
 
MAPLE-ROASTED SQUASH & PUMPKIN

1 large acorn squash (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 small pumpkin (about 2 1/2 pounds)
vegetable cooking spray
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2 tbsp. margarine, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt

Cut squash and pumpkin in half vertically. Discard seeds and membranes. Cut each squash and pumpkin half into eight wedges. Place wedges in the 9 by 13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle syrup and margarine over wedges. Sprinkle with sugar and salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, turning wedges every 15 minutes.
