Aged Maple Syrup, Hogs On The Farm, Lentil Soup And Chili

hogs at Schact Farm

Quite frankly I just wanted to make maple syrup sexier.


Tim Burton of Burton's Maplewood Farm. Sexier maple syrup comes from aging it in rum, brandy and bourbon barrels. The particular syrup he aged for Chef Daniel Orr has some cinnamon, star anise and lemon zest tossed in. Burton will talk about how he came up with this hair-brained idea in the first place, and then we cook with the stuff -- a spiced maple syrup crème brûlée.

Harvest Public Media looks at farmers who are growing food on less productive plots of land.

In the second half of the show, lentil soup and then chili with some lentils floating in there, too.

And we visit Schacht Farm to meet Mandy Napier and her hogs.
