Somerset County Maple Products

I am excited to show you that we have added some new Somerset County Maple Products to our already extensive line of Somerset County products!  I know it sounds like I repeated myself a lot there...I guess I did.  We have carried an excellent line of real Maple Syrup for years.  But we liked the way Paul Bunyan was packaging their maple products.  Many folks stop and buy Somerset County Maple Syrup for gifts for friends or travelers buy them as a memento of their time in Somerset County.   Regardless of the reason, we thought the Paul Bunyan line would be perfect for our market and we are excited to share it with you.

I found this recipe on their website and hope you will give their products a try.  We will be sampling their Maple Cream this Thursday at the store.  Stop by and try some!  Bet you leave with a jar!


Taken from Paul Bunyan's website:

Maple Crunch Muffin

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup granola with almonds
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 recipe Maple Frosting, recipe below Granola with almonds 
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease eighteen 3-1/2-inch muffin cups with 5x5-inch squares of parchment paper (pleat to fit) or paper bake cups. Combine flours, granola, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Combine milk, syrup, oil, and eggs; add to flour mixture. Stir until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Spoon into muffin cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake 15 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Cool in muffin cups on wire rack 5 minutes. Remove from cups. Spoon Maple Frosting atop muffins; sprinkle with additional granola. Makes 18 muffins.
Maple Frosting: In bowl beat 2 ounces softened cream cheese 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon maple syrup; beat until smooth.

Or instead of using Maple Frosting, Paul Bunyan's Maple Cream could be used 

3. To give as gift, store cooled muffins in an airtight container. Package Maple frosting and granola for topping separately; store in refrigerator.
