"We would not be without pure Maine maple syrup in our kitchen. It is a natural, minimally processed way to sweeten and flavor dishes and beverages. From a drizzle on breakfast cereal or ice cream to its addition to barbecue sauce and baked beans, maple syrup adds deep, rich flavor with a simple pour. It is one of the sweetest reasons we love living in Maine!"
Chef Harry and Laurie Schwartz,
Author of A Guide to Help Achieve Good Health for America's Overweight Youth
