Maple Orange Syrup Recipes

ORANGE WAFFLES WITH MAPLE-ORANGE SYRUP

Steps:

• In 1-quart saucepan, heat all syrup ingredients just until hot. Keep warm while making waffles.
• Heat waffle iron. (Waffle irons without a nonstick coating may need to be brushed with vegetable oil or sprayed with cooking spray.) In large bowl, stir all waffle ingredients with wire whisk or fork until blended.
• For each waffle, pour batter onto center of hot waffle iron. (Check manufacturer's directions for recommended amount of batter.) Close lid of waffle iron. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle. Serve waffles with syrup.

HOMEMADE MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring the water, white sugar, and brown sugar to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the maple extract; simmer 3 minutes longer.

MAPLE ORANGE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Prepare the ham; Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim the skin and the fat to a 1/4 inch layer on the ham. Score the fat in a diamond pattern (using a sharp knife). Insert a whole clove into each cross-hatch, pat the mustard over the top and sides of the ham, and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Pour the maple syrup and chicken broth into a 12 x l7 inch roasting pan. Add the ham. Bake, basting every 30 minutes, for 1 1/2 hours. Add the bourbon, orange juice, and thyme to the pan. Sprinkle the ham with the maple sugar, if desired. Bake basting after 15 minutes, for 30 minutes and remove from the oven.
• Prepare the sauce: Strain the pan juices and skim the fat off the top. Add the orange zest and salt, and boil for about 10 minutes. Serve hot with the ham.

ORANGE MAPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse the cranberries. Discard any mushy or underripe berries and stems.
• Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the cranberries, 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, orange zest, orange juice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling over medium heat until the berries burst and break down, forming a sauce, 15-20 minutes.
• Taste for sweetness. If it's too tart, add more syrup - a tablespoon at a time - until the sauce tastes sweet enough for you.
• Remove from the heat and let cool. Spoon into your serving container to serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for 3-4 days. You can also freeze your cranberry sauce for up to 2 months - I do this every Thanksgiving! Just place the sauce in an airtight container or zipper freezer bag and transfer to the freezer. Move to the fridge to thaw about 24-48 hours before the big meal.
