Maple Extract

Store in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed. Like vanilla extract, it has a very long shelf life.

Start with a small amount, as maple extract is very potent.

Add it towards the end of cooking or baking to preserve its delicate flavor.

It's perfect for sugar-free recipes where you want maple flavor without the sugar.

Use in glazes, marinades, and candies for an intense maple boost.

Using too much, which can overpower other flavors.

Adding it too early in a long cooking process, as heat can diminish the flavor.

Confusing it with maple syrup; extract is highly concentrated and not a sweetener.
