Barbecue sauce, instead of brown sugar use maple syrup. Baked beans.

You're most welcome, Galena. A lot of them are dessert type recipes, which I seldom get into because I stuff myself so bad at dinner I don't leave any room for dessert.. but some of them look awfully good! I'm thinking the Maple Pecan sweet potatoes could be a big hit at Thanksgiving (#40) and the Maple Balsamic Glazed Pork Medallions(#59) are lookin pretty good to me too!
I had a good dark batch of box elder syrup this year. Made some BBQ sauce with it and it's fantastic. Done the same with maple syrup too. I don't buy BBQ sauce from the store at all now.

2015 - Small operation. 25 buckets. One excited 5 year old and one 35 year old that feels 5 again.
2016 - One year older. New Homemade 2x4 Arch, Smoky Lake Pan and looking at 52 maples, 17 box elders and 2 walnut trees.
2017 - Shurflo 4008 hooked to 42 stingy silver maples and a few Norways. A couple buckets on sugars and Norways. 10 box elders.
2018 - ...a few more taps.
2019 - ...more taps on 3/16 gravity. This spiral is heading downward in a hurry.
2020 - 4x400 RO - RB20 (uh-oh!)
One of my favourite desserts is grandpere's. Take a cup of syrup, add cup of water, bring to a boil and spoon in dumplings (Bisquick with milk works), cover and let cook for 20 minutes. No peeking or dumplings will not rise properly! Delicious but sticky!
Small experiment tonight. I make my own taco seasoning (I don't buy the premade pouches of salt) and added some syrup to the pan with it for our chicken tacos. It was a hit. Goes well with the chilli powder, cayenne, and paprika in the seasoning. Will make maple syrup a standard taco ingredient now!

maple cream on cheddar
Eric (Tuckermtn) and his wife served these at their 2016 maple weekend - maple cream spread on squares of sharp cheddar cheese. Big hit, and good for maple cream sales. Deeeelicious hors d'ovures.
I put maple on vanilla ice cream for dessert. I also put it on greek yogurt, and dip maple chicken sausage in some extra dark. Great breakfast.
