MORSELS: MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE MAPLE CRÉME BRULEE

enerous with their voluntary efforts toward
maple promotion, (annual
maple tasting events served out
of the VMSMA mobile sugarhouse, hosting, staffing and
teaching visitors yearly about
real maple at the Addison
County Fair and Field Days
sugarhouse), the county group
again held the Governor’s Tree
Tapping and luncheon for the
media in 2009.
The Governor at the time,
Jim Douglas tapped a giant
maple near Mead Chapel, with
the luncheon following. Over
the years many Vermont counties voluntarily held outstanding Governor’s treetapping
celebrations – and each had
its own unique emphasis and
attraction.
Menu-wise though, it is the
Addison Maple Crème Brulee
that is a special occasion maple
treat for which we have the recipe that we are happy to share
with you!

saucepan and bring to boil.
Gradually whisk hot cream
mixture into yolk mixture.
Divide custard among

prepared custard dishes. Set

enough hot water to pan to

Before serving, top with
maple sugar and burnish with
a blow torch, or put under a

melted. Watch it carefully, the
first time I did this I burned
the sugar!
Makes 4 servings.
