Now this is my kind of recipe, Heidi! I do love maple everything, and this maple butter would be perfect on top of a warm slice of banana bread. Yum! Question. Have you ever tried making maple cream? That was a favorite back when we lived in maple country, but I haven’t seen it since we moved to Asheville. I’d love to find a way to make that at home! If I recall, I believe you just whip the heck out of maple syrup…
Heidi says
Thank you so much, David! I actually just got back from a 10 day vacation in Asheville. 🙂 Now I haven’t tried making maple cream yet, but I definitely need to. It looks divine! And you’re right… it is just whipping up pure maple syrup. If you get a chance to try it, let me know how it goes!
