Best Vermont Maple Syrup<\/h2>\r\n

Runamok Sugarmaker's Cut Maple Syrup<\/h3>\r\nIf you're serious about maple, you know that Vermont is the<\/em> place to source your syrup. While there are lots of Vermonters making syrup, our Test Kitchen is a fan of Runamok Sugarmaker's Cut Maple Syrup<\/strong><\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis USDA-certified organic syrup hails from rural Vermont, where a collective of farmers works together to make this prime product, one marked as \"sugarmaker's cut.\" What does this mean for your syrup? It means that this is the quality of syrup typically reserved for the farmers themselves\u2014the pros that really know a good syrup.\r\n\r\nBut our culinary experts also recognize the quality in this Runamok bottle. The copper-colored syrup has a lot of nuances; it's not just sugar or basic maple. According to Mark Neufang<\/a> in the Test Kitchen, \"this has sweetness with a bit of smokiness and edge.\"\r\n\r\nYou may not typically associate smoke with maple, but like many foods (ranging from everything from tomatoes to wine), location, soil and weather can all influence the end product and give it some unique flavors. In this case, Runamok picks up some pleasant notes of smoke that taste great paired with classic breakfast foods but with savory dishes<\/a> as well, like this Maple-Roasted Chicken & Acorn Squash<\/a>.\r\n
