I use it in many dishes both sweet and savoury. My favourites seem to be in vinaigrettes, dressings and marinades but it also makes an awesome smoothie and a great glaze for vegetables and roast lamb and chicken.
Mark Saturday April 26, 2104 in your calendar as we hope to see you stocking up on maple syrup at the 17th Annual Powassan Maple Syrup Festival. The day starts with 3 Pancake Breakfasts at 7am and the festival activities end around 4 pm. There will be many food and craft vendors in Powassan and the township reports their usual small population of 2,000 swells to well over 5,000 people on this one day. You can also listen to live music and enjoy fun events.

- Maple Cranberry Chia Smoothie
- Hot Maple Thyme Tea (slow cooker)
- Maple Fruit Nut Rolled Oats (Rice Cooker)
- Layered Maple Yogurt, Fruit Granola Parfaits

All maple syrup sold in Ontario has to be graded and you can find out more and see other recipes at http://www.ontariomaple.com. I liked the history of maple syrup shown at

Hi Nancy,
You may want to update your website for the Powassan maple syrup festival:
It is April 28, 2012 and it is the 15th annual.
thanks,

What a coincidence that the Powassan Maple Syrup Festival is on April 28th - so is French River's Rubber Boots Festival (www.frcic.com), a maple syrup & music spring celebration of four cultures (First Nations, Francophone, Métis, Anglophone). Both festivals sound like so much fun!
pretty nice blog, following :)
