6 scrumptious uses for leftover maple syrup

Don't let that sweet maple syrup go to waste. Instead, use it to reinvent these tasty dishes.

1. To make a quick sweet-and-sour sauce for pork, mix together:
   30 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar
   15 ml (1 tbsp) maple syrup
   15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
   15 ml (1 tbsp) water
   10 ml (2 tsp) Dijon mustard
   4 drops hot-pepper sauce
2. For a better-tasting honey mustard spread that tastes great as both a dip or sandwich topping, mix together 125 millilitres (1/2 cup) Dijon mustard, 30 millilitres (two tablespoons) honey and 15 millilitres (one tablespoon) maple syrup. This sauce is excellent with breaded and fried chicken tenders.
3. For a fabulous marinade for portobello mushrooms, mix together:
   30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
   30 ml (2 tbsp) soy sauce
   30 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh rosemary
   3 garlic cloves, minced
   10 ml (2 tsp) roasted sesame oil
   10 ml (2 tsp) maple syrup
   1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
   1 ml (1/4 tsp) freshly ground black pepper
   Add four portobello mushroom caps, refrigerate for one to six hours, then grill or broil until tender.
4. To deepen the flavour of store-bought barbecue sauce, stir 30 millilitres (two tablespoons) pure maple syrup into 250 millilitres (one cup) bottled barbecue sauce.
5. For a moist and flavourful pork tenderloin, rub pork tenderloin with store-bought ­seasoning blend, then wrap the roast in slices of bacon. Brush all over with maple syrup before roasting and slicing.
6. To make a wonderful turkey salad using leftover turkey meat, mix together:
   125 ml (1/2 c) mayonnaise
   45 ml (3 tbsp) maple syrup
