Culinary Inspirations with Maple Sugar

Baked Goods & Desserts

Maple sugar brings a nuanced sweetness to baked goods. It creates a golden crust on cookies and cakes, and adds complexity to frostings and fillings. Replace standard sugar in your favourite recipes—simply use ¾ cup maple sugar for every 1 cup of white sugar.

Grilling and BBQ

Chefs use maple sugar as a key ingredient in savoury rubs and marinades. Combine it with spices like smoked paprika and chili powder for an irresistible balance of sweet and savoury on ribs, steaks, or roasted vegetables.

Beverages and Cocktails

Maple sugar transforms ordinary drinks into gourmet experiences. Craft bartenders often create maple-infused syrups by dissolving maple sugar in water and pairing it with cinnamon, ginger, or citrus zest for cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Hot Toddies.

Practical Storage and Usage Tips

Proper storage is key to maintaining maple sugar’s quality and flavour:

• Keep in airtight containers to avoid clumping from moisture.
• If clumping occurs, gently break apart using a fork or pulse in a food processor.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for optimal freshness.
