Syrup

Apple Syrup

Apple syrup is a prepared sweetener made by reducing apple juice or cider—caramel-apple depth ranging from pourable breakfast syrup to thick Dutch appelstroop. It is cooked fruit juice, not raw nectar or tree sap. Spread on bread with cheese, glaze pork, or sweeten porridge. Thickness and tartness vary by reduction and apple variety.

Also known as: Appelstroop, Sirop de Liège Style Apple, Apple Butter Syrup
