Maple syrup can be use in much more recipes than only pancakes. High in simple sugars, it is a quick source of energy for all your outdoor adventures. Since March is the prime season for maple syrup production, I thought I would share my favorite ways to enjoy maple syrup on the trail.
Get the real thing
First of all, you will need real maple syrup. Not the fake brown sweet thing that is made of white sugar or corn syrup. No, if we talk maple syrup, we need the real thing that is only made of maple syrup! If you are in the US, you can purchase real maple maple syrup on Amazon.com
