I served this as a dessert for an impromptu dinner party with some friends - and it was a hit! (Make sure to keep to just a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, though, as the maple flavour is easily overpowered.) Served with strawberries, honeydew melon, sponge cake, and shortbread fingers. -
this is a great recipe! i think it tastes a bit sweeter then really rich honey! i dipped lots of fruits in it and it tasted great! -
This is excellent! I just made this tonight for a party tomorrow. I bought Challah bread to go along with it and it's sooo yummy. Tastes just like a cinnamon roll. -
This Canadian gal was looking for a recipe involving maple syrup for a multicultural evening. I made this one, and it was a hit! In fact, I was told it was the best food at the entire event. Served it with ginger snaps and sour apples. Yum yum.

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
