Recently, we received a package in the mail from a sweet fellow blogger.
It was heavy (that's always a sign of good things to come, huh?)

It was a regular "maple-palooza"! There were (all gone now!) maple hard candies in a beautifully adorned box (saved the box for something special later on), a huge container of Pennsylvania maple syrup (waffles and pancakes, here we come!), and a tub of maple cream (sometimes called maple butter). It's pure maple syrup heated to a specific temperature and then whipped, which causes it to change and hold its whipped state. She said that the best way to eat it was served on warm, fresh baked bread...

...that was easy (well for me anyway, all I had to do was ask 2nd Man to make some, ha). Oh my gosh it was SO good. I might have overdone the first piece, 2nd Man said that it was a bit overly sweet, so the next slice was a thinner slathering...delicious!!
So a big thank you to Jaz at Octoberfarm. She is a sweet, good, soul.
We truly appreciate you and are glad to call you 'friend'!

DeleteWe have been blessed too by Joyce - we get nothing like this here in New Zealand and we savour the maple syrup - we sure can make it last. It's yummy aye!
ReplyDeleteShe's an awesome person for sure. I never thought about maple syrup being unique to here...I guess Maple trees don't grow everywhere, ha.
