Birch Recipes — Birch

Do you have a favorite cousin? The Birch tree does. Did you know that birch trees and apple trees share a genealogical lineage? They are distant cousin species, and perhaps as a result or just by chance, their flavors brilliantly compliment one another, as showcased in this scrumptious Birch Apple Cake.

If you are one of those folks who must eat their vegetable first, then the starch and then the protein and you don't like the different foods on your plate to touch (yes, you know who you are!), this dish is not for you. Here's why...

November is YAM time! The comfort of a bowl of steaming soup is a huge part of our fall ritual. With the bounty of root veggies flowing from local sources to put us in the mood, and the incredible balance of a Yam & Amber Birch Syrup pairing, soup's definitely on!

This is a mouth puckering balance of smooth bourbon, tart lemon juice and fruity woodsy birch syrup is a real winner that will thrill on a warm evening as a summer refresher or during the holidays by adding a touch of cinnamon. No matter the time of year, you will want to share this with friends.
