08. A special Birch Syrup Glaze
Birch Syrup is produced by collecting the sap from the birch trees and evaporating a large amount of the water to concentrate it to a syrup. It takes over 100 litres or of sap to make just 1 litre of Birch Syrup. The sap, containing only 1% sugar, looks and tastes much like water if you taste it straight from the tree. To concentrate the sap it is at first processed through a reverse osmosis machine which removes around 70% of the water and then we gently heat the concentrate to evaporate more water until it reaches 67% natural sugar content.
Birch syrup is distinctive in flavour and extremely versatile. It has a rich, fruity caramel flavour that is fantastic in both sweet and savoury recipes and in cocktails. Birch syrup is a delicious sweetener that blends well with other flavours in a wide variety of recipes including marinades, barbecue sauces, dressings, granola, baked beans, coffee, baked squash, cakes, bread and even ice cream.
