Chili-Infused Maple Syrups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Smoked Merquén Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup is Richly Flavored

— October 14, 2017 — Lifestyle
The Smoked Merquén Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup comes as a spicy yet balanced alternative to the traditional maple syrups on the market that can be used in your favorite meals or cocktails.

The syrup is made from organic maple syrup that has been sourced on the northwest slopes of Mount Mansfield in Vermont and infused with chili peppers from the Mapuche region in Chile that have been ripened before being slowly smoked over a fire. The merging of the ingredients creates a pure, one-of-a-kind flavor that will please maple syrup fans and foodies alike.

Speaking on the new Smoked Merquén Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup, co-founder of Runamok Maple, Eric Sorkin, said, "When we infuse the Merquén into our maple syrup it adds a balanced amount of richness, heat and smokiness that is enhanced by the natural caramel tones of the maple. I recommend using this new variety over cheddar cheese, on BBQ, roasted vegetables and meats, and even eggs. It also lends an exotic and sweet element to cocktails."
