This week’s giveaway comes to us from the Babiarz family at the Tree of Life Maple Farm. They are a small organic maple farm based in Northwestern Maine, just a few miles from the Canadian border. All the maple products they sell come from their sugarbush, which they tap while the trees are still frozen. This allows them to gather the cleanest and clearest sap as thaw arrives.
The Tree of Life syrup is available in three different colors. Each color has its own unique properties while retaining its essential maple qualities. The lightest syrups are generally made earlier in the season, while the darker hues typically come later.
Tree of Life Maple Farm sells their syrup in a variety of packages. They offer glass bottles in a handful of different sizes and shapes for gift giving, as well as in more conventional plastic jugs for those of us who like to cook and bake with our maple and want something a little easier to juggle in the kitchen.
They also sell some of the most gorgeous, light maple sugar I’ve tried (and I used a lot of the stuff while working on Naturally Sweet Food in Jars).
The team at Tree of Life believes that maple syrup is good for so much more than just pancakes. It’s something that is equally delicious in coffee, yogurt, baked goods, and more. And one lucky winner will get a chance to try some of their delicious syrup. This week, we’re giving away one 500 ml glass jug of Organic Golden Maple Syrup and one 500 ml glass jug of Organic Dark Maple Syrup to share. Please use the widget below to enter!

You can add a little maple syrup to a flavored vinegar in a pan that you have cooked anything—hanger steak, a mild white fish, even sweet potatoes and just sprinkle a bit over the that main course. Delicious! Just enough to taste a hint of both the sweetness and the tartness.

I use it in so much of my Fall baking and cooking.
My husband loves maple syrup on pancakes/waffles/french toast…you get the idea. I use it in recipes – particularly in granola but also lots of other things.

We usually use it for breakfast applications.. waffles, pancakes, swirled on yogurt or cottage cheese.
I love the packaging – the jars are really pretty. Besides the usual uses on pancakes, waffles, etc, I especially like maple syrup on pork sausage. I’ve gotten weird looks in restaurants when I ask for syrup but am only having eggs and sausage. 🙂

I normally use maple syrup just as a tasting when I have a craving for something sweet. Funny enough, I will do the same thing with molasses.
