Maple Cream, Maple Butter Recipe, Banana Sandwich Recipe

You may be wondering what the difference is between Maple Butter and Maple Cream. Well, the difference is subtle, but essentially Vermont Sugarmakers tell us that pure Vermont Maple Cream is produced by heating maple syrup, cooling, then stirring until a creamy thick consistency yields a spread that is delicious on pancakes, toast, doughnuts, English muffins, bagels, waffles, even baked potatoes.

Maple Butter on the other hand, is a blend of maple syrup and butter, producing a very similar spread as maple cream. We offer 100% Pure Vermont Maple Cream, produced by local sugarers in Northern Vermont.
