    I mildly burned a batch. (Float too low). Has a strong caramel flavor. Any way way to rescue it?

    I would just use it in baked goods or some other recipe that calls for maple as the sweetener. I actually like the burnt flavor and would just use it as normal, some people don't enjoy it. Any off flavored syrup usually ends up on the "Personal use" shelf in our cabinet.

    I agree - add it to some vodka till you get a mixture you like. If you want less maple flavor, add it to whiskey, bourbon or something smokey.

    My wife bought a bag of "maple kettle corn" recently. I think traditionally kettle corn is cooked at a temperature that partially caramelizes the sugar. Be that as it may, it had a pretty noticable caramelized flavor, and it was delicious. I have a batch of nearup in my freezer, and I think I'll use it for a batch of nuts and popcorn.
