Another simple yet tasty maple recipe to help celebrate sugaring season. This fondue is great with fruit and other products typically served with chocolate fondue.

Recipe is courtesy of my aunt, Francoise.

Ingredients :

• ½ cup maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp. corn starch
• 2 cups light cream
• Fruits for dipping

Directions :

1. In a heavy, medium pot over medium heat, simmer the maple syrup for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside for later use.
2. In a small bowl, combine the corn starch with 3 tablespoons of cold light cream.
3. In another medium pot, bring the rest of the light cream to a simmer over medium-high heat.
4. Add the hot cream to the maple syrup and whisk over medium heat until fully combined. Raise the heat to medium-high and once the maple/cream mixture comes to a simmer, add the corn starch mixture. Whisk until thickened, about 3 minutes.
5. Place the maple mixture in a fondue pot over a heat source and serve with various fruits.
