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.

Vrai Sirop de Liège, a trademark registered in 1947, became the company’s flagship product. The fruit is pressed, then the juices are concentrated before being put into jars.
