Instructions
Here's how to make maple butter:

Tips
For the best taste, you need to use pure maple syrup. You can usually purchase it in the organic section at your regular grocery store. Here in New England, it's just about maple season.
I can't wait to take my kiddos to a maple sugar shack to see how maple syrup is made. My dad grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania where they tapped the trees and hauled buckets of sap in the early Spring. He loved to teach my sisters and I about it when we were growing up.
