How to enjoy it?
On a slice of bread, with Herve cheese, on crêpes or in the sauce for boulets à la liégeoise (Liège-style meatballs): the syrup lends itself as well to bread and butter as to cooking.
Good practice when serving
At breakfast, serve the syrup with a clean spoon kept for this purpose and close the jar between services. The syrup does not need refrigerating: at room temperature it stays soft and spreads easily, even on fresh bread.

Each syrup maker keeps its own recipe, sweeter or richer to a greater or lesser degree. For inspiration in the kitchen, the syrup works offers on its website a recipe for boulets à la liégeoise with syrup (in French), along with ideas for desserts and accompaniments.
Siroperie Meurens, in Aubel since 1902
