Grade A maple syrup

[fabulousone]

I just bought some to try this master cleanse diet--but I love food too much to do anything that stupid.

But i really am liking the way this tastes, but right now..I have no pancakes or waffles. I don't really want to drink maple syrup from the bottle though.

what should I do with it?

Note: Syrup sandwiches are not an option. :)

I never DRANK maple syrup.

I've only had it on pancakes and waffles. Sometimes in candied yams as well.

And that is always Vermont Maid.
