FAMILY FEATURES
utumn is the perfect time to fall in love with maple syrup. The caramelized flavor of syrup pairs well with
other fall flavors, like apples, cinnamon and pumpkin.
From spiced syrups to game-day dips, McCormick Executive Chef Kevan Vetter has tasty ideas for incorporating this
fall flavor in dishes throughout the day:
n Maple
syrup is a perfect complement to sweet banana pancakes. Mix mashed bananas into the pancake batter. Once
cooked, top with sliced bananas, chopped walnuts and maple syrup.
n Add
maple syrup to a melty grilled cheese sandwich. Layer cheddar cheese, bacon, sliced apples and maple syrup
mixed with apple pie spice between two slices of buttered bread.
n For
a twist on a traditional game-day appetizer, drizzle maple syrup over a cheddar bacon dip.
n For
a sweet treat, mix vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice into maple syrup then drizzle over a coconut pumpkin
bread pudding.
