Ina Garten's Preferred Brand Of Maple Syrup Is A Maine Classic
BY KAREN HART
When it comes to maple syrup, Ina Garten is partial towards one brand that hails from the Pine Tree state of Maine and has become very popular: Stonewall Kitchen.
Garten told Bon Appetit, "Maple is a great autumn flavor. It goes with pumpkin. [...] It's sweet, but it's also smoky. Stonewall Kitchen is made in Maine and is very good."
The brand waits until the last frost to start maple sugaring, creating a "rich" vibrant amber syrup that's sweet, sticky, and perfect for drizzling on a stack of hotcakes.
Stonewall Kitchen's syrup has a maple flavor with an attitude and is grade A. The grade denotes the color of the syrup and taste — the darker the syrup, the bolder the flavor.
Stonewall Kitchen's maple syrup is a translucent yellowish-red hue and is perfect for both a baker and a cook to use in their recipes.
Beyond the traditional use of the syrup for waffles and oatmeal, Stonewall Kitchen suggests using it as a sweetener for granola and adding a touch to your morning coffee.
