DescriptionThis beautiful glass jug, embossed with the Couching Lion logo, holds a liter of maple syrup. The clear glass shows off the amber color of our pure Vermont “liquid gold.” This makes a wonderful gift and is available in Amber Rich and Dark Robust grades while supplies last.Amber Color with Rich TasteUsually made about mid-season and often seems to be the most popular for all-around use. Full of characteristic maple flavor, this syrup is equally as good over waffles as it is in salad dressings, cocktails, or in a maple-sweetened barbecue sauce. If you’re only going to have one grade of Vermont maple syrup in your kitchen, make it Amber Color with Rich Taste.Dark Color with Robust TasteAs the maple season progresses, the syrup darkens in color and develops a more robust maple flavor. Good for all around use, its hearty flavor is a great choice for all kinds of recipes. Pour over baked apples or squash, use as a glaze for meats and vegetables, or sweeten baked goods. This grade pairs well with smoky and spicy flavors like chipotle peppers, sriracha, or bourbon.Very Dark Color with Strong TasteProduced at the end of the season, it’s perfect for cooking and baking. When you need a strong maple flavor in a bread or cookie, ice cream, or barbecue sauce, this is the grade of choice.
