* No maple water on hand? Substitute with 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich flavour) mixed with 900 ml (3 3/4 cups) water to cook the pasta. This recipe, however, is best made with maple water.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
