  4. Next, add the whipped meringue into the almond and fine maple sugar mix in two additions and keep folding until the mixture falls off the whisk like lava, forming a thick ribbon.

  2. Pour the mixture into a pan then bring to a boil.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree that’s all.
