Maple syrup story in the fall? Sure!

Months after the trees were tapped, this aged maple syrup from Burton's Maplewood Farm has emerged from its slumber in bourbon barrels with a more complex flavor.

If you can't get your hands on this special sweet stuff, don't worry -- use your favorite grade B syrup and add some lemon zest.

Typical crème brûlées are served in shallow dishes to maximize the amount of burnt sugar on top. We prefer more creamy goodness in our recipes, which is why we use regular ramekins with sides up to 1-1/2 inches tall.

This recipe uses the Sweet Seasons Spice Blend.
