MAPLE SAP RECIPES
3 cups cooked rice or quinoa (or any other grain of choice) 1 apple, diced 8 dates, chopped ½ cup nuts (black walnuts or hickory, if you got ‘em!) 1 cup plain yogurt
1. Cook 1½ cups rice or other grain in 4 cups fresh maple sap until done. 2. Let cool thoroughly with a lid on to prevent drying out. 3. Mix apples, dates, nuts and yogurt thoroughly. 4. Chill. May be served slightly warmed or cold. Top with a little maple syrup if you prefer it a little sweeter.
These baked beans are slow-cooked in a crockpot for about 24 hours. As the sap slowly cooks down it turns into a sweet, maple-flavored gravy. 4 cups dried navy beans (or any bean) 10 cups fresh maple sap 1 Tbsp salt 2 medium onions, minced
1. Soak beans in water overnight. 2. In the morning drain, put beans in a crockpot and add 10 cups fresh maple sap. 3. Turn crock pot on high and cook all day until beans are soft and tender. 4. Add diced onions and a little more maple sap if they seem a bit dry or low on liquid at this point. 5. Continue to cook with the lid off of the crockpot overnight. I made 3 batches of these this year, as they freeze nicely and I serve them at barbecues and potlucks in the summer.
