I picked up some Harvest Food works Maple Syrup Crystals last week. They were well received in our taste test. (I didn't tell them I substituted during Sunday morning breakfast and nobody seemed to notice.) I've been wanting to find a light weight way to bring maple syrup to have with bannock and this will do the trick.

It's pretty easy to make - just add a half cup of boiling water to the crystals in the mixing bag. I'm going to try adding them straight into the bannock too.

MEC sells them for $4.25 and I found them at Sail for $3.99. I've learned not to count on Sail inventory so bought a couple of packs.
