Many thing on our table have maple in them, Basted the Turkey, in the squash, in the pumpkin pie, on the vegetables. Likely more that I'm not remembering.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
I use maple in the orange dressing for the duck and in the sweet potatoes.
Maple pecan pie, and maple Long Island iced tea afterward. Also, a good source of feedback for different experiments... coffee infused syrup in our case. It was a big hit.
Pumpkin pie made with maple sugar, served warm out of the oven with a dollop of whipped cream and maple syrup drizzled over it. Excellent! Ted
Try some bourbon in that pumpkin pie too....you'll like it

Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts. Not traditional for thanksgiving, but always a favorite.
We tried a Maple Cheesecake this year. The recipe was from Cabot Creamery and can easily be found on line. I followed the recipe, except that I did it in a traditional pie plate - and I added maple crumble on top. It was excellent!
