The number one description we get from customers on the taste of our pure birch syrup is "tangy molasses". This is not a pancake syrup like maple is! Birch syrup has been around for a long time in the state of Alaska mostly, but also becoming more common in Canada than here in the main states. Not a comparable syrup to Maple, known for its very own and distinct flavor profile. Birch contains half the amount of sugar as maple, making it a much less sweet and much more mineral rich, nutty yet sweet flavor. Our favorite birch recipe: Gateway Farm Birch Burgers 1 lb burger 1/8-1/4 cup of birch syrup (depends on preference, we use the full 1/4) 1.5 teaspoons rosemary (fresh or dry) 1 teaspoon minced garlic Combine all ingredients, form and cook to preference. Our favorite toppings include mild cheese and/or carmelized onions. More recipes here.
