Serving ideas
The syrup is spread on bread, crêpes and waffles. In the kitchen, it binds and sweetens the sauce for boulets à la liégeoise (Liège-style meatballs), a carbonnade, a marinade or a vinaigrette. It is traditionally served with Herve cheese.
A storage tip
Keep the jars closed in a dry place, away from heat and direct light. The syrup does not need to go in the fridge; at low temperatures it simply becomes firmer and less easy to spread.
