Hot + Spicy Smoked Chili Pepper Infused Maple Syrup

A far cry from a generically "hot" maple syrup, we've infused this product with Merquén: a chili blend from the Mapuche region of Chile. The peppers are ripened to a dark red color to develop rich flavor then slow smoked over a fire. When we infuse them in our maple syrup, all of the profiles of the pepper – the heat, the smokiness and the rich pepper taste are magnified by the caramel tones of the maple. Amazing as a cooking ingredient for any recipe that calls for a sweet, spicy heat, and delicious when added into cocktails calling for the same flavor profile (spicy margarita, anyone?).
