When maple syrup runs amok, yummy things happen

Runamok Maple’s Jasmine Tea Infused maple syrupRunamok Maple

Runamok Maple sells organic Vermont syrups infused with spices, fruits, and flowers and smoked or barrel aged in high-shouldered, glass bottles. Some are flavored with cardamom and elderberry; others smoked in pecan wood or aged in rum and bourbon barrels. The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Eric and Laura Sorkin. Their crew taps 81,000 trees in Northern Vermont to produce the syrups. They recently added a new choice — maple syrup infused with jasmine tea ($17 for 8.45 ounces). Delicate and floral, the fragrant syrup tastes of jasmine flowers and sweet honeysuckle. The blend of flavors adds an appealing sweetness to a glaze or vinaigrette. It would be wonderful drizzled over a dessert or as an ingredient in a cocktail. There are endless uses beyond breakfast. The chic bottle tells us this right away. Runamok’s Jasmine Tea Infused maple syrup is available at Port Plums, 50 Water St., Newburyport, 978-462-7700; Joy Street Life + Home, 49 Commonwealth Ave., Concord, 978-341-8613, or go to www.runamokmaple
