michigan maple cream

especially this time of year, i look to american spoon foods for a variety of terrific products to use in recipes for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  this delicious maple cream from Michigan's upper peninsula is the product of a special cooling and churning technique that gives pure maple syrup a creamy, spreadable consistency. no cream or butter is added to the product.

last week, i used this maple cream on steel cut oats for oatmeal, as well as sweet potatoes.  it can be spread easily on toast or english muffins and is terrific on fresh cut carrots.

maple cream could be also used on pancakes, waffles or used in place of honey or brown sugar for fresh baked granola.  i really can't say enough about this product, as it is unique and very tasty.  it just reminds me of the best of autumn and the fall holidays.
