Maple Syrup Recipes
Make these tasty Minnesota maple syrup recipes with the maple syrup you made yourself or with the best grade of locally grown Minnesota maple syrup.
We love maple syrup on our waffles, French toast and bowls of oatmeal. Minnesota maple syrup also adds special flavor in baked squash, ham, baked beans and many other dishes.
Maple syrup in drinks and with fruit dishes is delicious. Dark amber syrup is often used for cooking but use whatever you have.
Here are some of our favorite maple syrup recipes. The first one also uses Minnesota blueberries. What a combination!
