Once again it’s time for another great maple syrup recipe! This one is called Maple-pineapple grilled chicken breasts, and it taste as good as it sounds.

Maple-pineapple grilled chicken breasts

Boneless chicken breasts can be awesome on the grill, but if you’re not careful, they can closely resemble chicken jerky. A marinade that contains both an acid and an oil will help ensure that the breasts turn out tender and moist. This particular marinade also adds a wonderful flavor to the chicken – sort of like a Polynesian sauce.

Well everyone, I’ve been out in the woods a lot the past few months getting all my maple sugaring stuff put up and getting ready for the Vermont maple sugar season for 2011!

The Vermont maple sugar season starts around now, the end of Feb. to somewhere around the end of March. Each year is a little different, it depends on a lot of things.

How cold it is, the swings in temperatures between day and night, sunlight and lots more determine how long the maple sugar season last and how soon it will start.

It’s time to share another Vermont maple syrup recipe! This one is fantastic and very tasty.

Maple-peach glazed scallops

Ever tried Vermont pure maple syrup with seafood? Try it – you’ll like it! You might want to start with this quick and easy recipe for grilled scallops. The sweet glaze is an excellent compliment to the salty bacon, and together they add a wonderful flavor to the succulent shellfish.

This recipe works much better if you use large sea scallops, as opposed to smaller bay scallops or calico scallops. If you can’t find the larger scallops and are forced to use the smaller ones, leave off the bacon completely. It would take you forever to wrap each little piece of flesh with bacon.
