Maple syrup in baked goods helps to keep them moist and prevents them from staling too quickly, similar to honey. In savoury sauces like this ultimate barbecue sauce for ribs, it adds depth and compliments the spices. Try out different grades – a system that distinguishes variations in taste and colour – to find one you like to work with.
