Some tips for cooking with maple syrup

* For baking, the dark amber or B grade of syrup will give you the best flavor and color.

* You may convert most recipes you have using sugar by using 3/4 cup syrup for 1 cup of sugar and reducing another liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup.

* If a recipe calls far 2 cups of sugar and you want to use maple syrup - use 1 cup sugar, 1-1/4 cups maple syrup and use 1/2 cup less liquid than recipe calls for.
