Maple Butter

By Addie

Great on toasted breads, or on pancakes and French toast, etc.

Try this on cornbread, Nancy!!! And baked sweet potatoes! And try it on corn-on-the-cob, as suggested by a reviewer!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Beat butter ingredients until blended. Chill. Keep refrigerated.
.......................

VARIATION:


1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (MY NOTES: Use just 1 teaspoon)


In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Chill in the refrigerator, for about 30 minutes. Form into a roll using waxed paper and store wrapped. It can be frozen for later at this point if desired.

Amazing! I made it to put on sweet potato rolls I made from this site, but it was so good the family sat at the dinner table thinking "what else can we put this on?" I made waffles for breakfast and we put it on them ...YUMM! Then I made corn bread- to die for with maple butter on it hot out of the oven! will be a staple in my house!

I loved this! It is very sweet and flavorful. It is perfect for use on toast or a bagel.

This is really good! I did half the recipe to try it out. I didn't think it had a really strong maple flavor though. But, the flavor was good anyway! It was like eating cinnamon raisin bread with butter and sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top. I put it in a one cup container with a twist top lid, and it fit perfect. It was a very handy container to store it in the fridge. I will definitely make a cup of this as is every fall!

I thought this was just okay. The pumpkin pie spice was overpowering. Also there was not much of a maple flavor. If I were to make this again, I would use less spice and try increasing the amount of maple syrup or even add 1 teaspoon pure maple extract.

Superb! I used some Vermont maple syrup my father in law brought down from VT. The pumpkin pie spice gave it the unique flavor. We have been eating it on 'bread machine bagels' from this site (which we like SO much!)...I also served to guests and they agreed it was delish! Thanks for the recipe!

I used a teaspoon of pumpkin spice, 1 tablespoon just too much. But great Maple butter!

Oh My Gosh! This is SO AWESOME! I used it on biscuits, but it would be great for pancakes, french toast, plain toast, on cinnamon raisin bread or toast, on pumpkin bread, sweet potatoes, cinnamon rolls, etc. I'm glad I scaled it down and only made a small amount as it is so good that we could have eaten it by itself. Thanks, this is wonderful!

This recipe was divine! I cut the brown sugar down to 1/4 cup. Use this on corn on the cob and you'll be in heaven!

This is yummy! I used it for my sweet potatoes and it adds wonderful flavor. Thank you:)

I love this recipe!!! I melted it over buttermilk pancakes and my family couldn't believe how yummy they were.

Outstanding! Delicious on toast, waffles, pancakes, sweet potato - anything that you would want to add some sweetness too when you would normally use butter. I added spice to taste so I don't know how much I used but I did not use the full quantity called for. This will now always be in my fridge.

This was yummy!! My 5 year old daughter kept trying to stick her finger in it and eat it plain. We had it on baked sweet potatoes, and will try on other things too.

I licked the mixing spoon, bowl, waxed paper...enough said! I used my own version of pumpkin pie spice: 1/2 t cinnamon, 1/4 t ground ginger, 1/8 t nutmeg, 1/8 t allspice...otherwise followed recipe. Served w/baked sweet potatoes and fried chicken. A HIT!!!!

This was excellent! I switched the proportions of maple syrup and brown sugar, resulting in a slightly runny consistency, but since we were using it on waffles it didn't make much of a difference. I've seen other maple butter recipes, but never one with spices -- a definite keeper!
