Mohawk Valley Maple Syrup Review and Giveaway Ends 2/16/14

DISCLOSURE:
I received products from Mohawk Valley Trading Company for the purpose of review.  I received no monetary compensation. The opinions expressed herein are my own and based on my own use of and experience with the item(s).

You'll recall that I recently posted a review of Mohawk Valley Trading Company's Raw Honey

I thought it couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong!

It gets better!

I also received a bottle of their amazing Grade A, Robust, Dark, Pure Maple Syrup.

Like most people, I've bought maple flavoured syrup. Trust me, the imitation does NOT do the real thing justice at all. Mike (Review Daddy) and I will never buy imitation again. Last night, we had home-made french toast, bacon, and Mohawk Valley Trading Company's  REAL Maple Syrup.

Seriously, how does one describe perfection? Slightly thick, fragrant, sweet... those are just a few inadequate words.  It truly enhances the food that you're eating -- it doesn't overpower it. It's versatile as well. It's NOT just for pancakes, french toast, or waffles.

Check out this recipe for Maple Pecan Scones!

Just take a good, long look at Mike's masterpiece last night... French Toast, Bacon, and real Maple Syrup.  Are you hungry now???

Cool, huh! Mike cooked!  Every bite better than the last -- Delicious! Mike doesn't know it yet... but we're having french toast again tonight! :D

About Maple Syrup:

Maple syrup is made from the xylem sap of sugar maple, black maple, or red maple trees, however it can also be made from other maple species. Maple syrup production is mainly located in northeastern North America; specifically the northeastern states (including New York, Vermont and Maine) and the southeastern parts of Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Given the correct weather conditions, it can be made anywhere in the habitat range of the maple trees. In cold environments, the trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then turned to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring.

Our maple syrup is made primarily from sugar maple sap, which is preferred for maple syrup production because it has an average sugar content of two percent. Sap from other maple species is usually lower in sugar content, and about twice as much is needed to produce the same amount of finished syrup.

The folks at Mohawk Valley Trading Company have generously offered one of my readers the opportunity win the same 32 oz. Glass Bottle of Pure Maple Syrup that I received. I thank them kindly!

DaVinci Gourmet Syrups -- Review & Giveaway -- Ends 9/2/11

If you're like me, you're always adding something extra to your drinks, mixers, or baking. All good cooks do it -- you must find that special ingredient to make it uniquely your own.

I've known about DaVinci Gourmet Syrups for quite a while. Savannah has so many gourmet and specialty shops -- DaVinci is a staple! However, you can also find them on your grocers shelves!

I received three bottles of DaVinci Gourmet Syrups a couple of weeks ago:

*Sugar-free Raspberry Syrup

*Classic Vanilla Syrup
This pure flavor is extracted from vanilla beans.

***KAHLUA® Flavored Classic Syrup

***Our products are non-alcoholic except for trace amounts contained in our flavorings.

Of course, the first thing I tried was the amazing KAHLUA® Flavored Classic Syrup! First, I tried it cold in my morning glass of Click Protein -- oh, wow! What a sweet addition -- loved the extra creaminess!

Next, I added it to my hot coffee. The KAHLUA® Flavour really kicked it up a notch!

Mike added the Classic Vanilla to his world-famous (according to him, anyway) cinnamon pancake batter. Very tasty!

We've added both of the syrups to brownie and cake batter, too.

Neither Mike nor I are crazy about the flavour of Raspberry, but Lizz' fiance is diabetic (and loves raspberry) so we passed it on to him.

I really appreciate food companies that make sugar-free, diabetic-friendly products. It's nice to know that Brent doesn't have to miss out on such wonderful syrups!

I am extremely pleased and impressed with the versatility of these marvelous syrups. Marinades, sauces, dressings, shakes, mixed drinks... the possibilities are endless.

With a very long (one to two years) shelf life -- there is little waste. Big Plus for me!

DaVinci Gourmet offers over 120 flavors in our All Natural, Classic, and Sugar Free lines. We also create custom flavors based on customer specifications, and have produced over 80 exclusive products for partners around the world.

The generous folks at DaVinci have offered one of my readers the chance to win *Three Bottles* of their fantastic syrups!
