Maple and Ginger-Braised Ham
Ham is a staple at the sugar shack, but it certainly begs to be revamped. Give it a strong aromatic base with fresh ginger, garlic, hot pepper and soy sauce. You can cook it fast in the pressure cooker or slower in the slow cooker for more tender meat. Serve it as is or in a sandwich. We’ve certainly come a long way from the traditional braised ham with boiled potatoes.

Maple Cheesecake Squares
The tartness of the cream cheese and the sweetness of the maple are in perfect harmony in this cake. Made using brown sugar and graham cracker crumbs, it is a very moist and tender dessert. Cut it into squares for easy transport to a family dinner.

Cream of Chickpea Soup with Garlic Chips and Curry Maple Syrup
Chickpeas have the same comforting power as yellow peas in this popular pea soup. However, this preparation is made much simpler thanks to canned legumes, which soak up the flavours of the curry powder, ground coriander and Jamaican pepper. Add Brussels sprouts leaves and roasted chickpeas as a topping, along with garlic chips. A drizzle of maple syrup intensifies the soup’s flavour.

Maple-Rosemary Cocktail
There’s no need to wait for dessert to eat some maple taffy on snow; you can enjoy some during cocktail hour. In this drink, you’ll note the freshness of the white apple vermouth and the resinous aromas of the gin and rosemary. You’ll also find the latter in the sugar, which is used to coat the rim of your glass to give it a frosted look. Fill your glass with crushed ice and add a stick of taffy to it.

Maple Sticky Buns
These light sticky buns with a hint of cinnamon and a maple butter glaze are pure bliss! To achieve the ultra-soft dough, you must knead it for 15 minutes. It may seem like a long time, but it makes all the difference. In addition to the glaze, enhance the maple flavour by drizzling some warm syrup over the buns once they come out of the oven.

Cheddar Soufflé Omelette with Maple Popcorn
Omelette soufflé is a must-have at sugar shack meals. In this recipe, we wanted to give it a more indulgent twist. First, whisk the eggs with maple syrup, then add cheddar cheese while the omelette cooks in the skillet, before it goes in the oven. Once baked, garnish with a vinegar-dressed herb salad and, for a final touch, top with maple popcorn. Surprising yet delicious.
