Maple Syrup BBQ Recipes: 5 Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Grill This Summer
When the grill comes out, ketchup and mustard tend to steal the spotlight. Respectfully, it’s time for an upgrade.
If you’re not cooking with maple syrup yet, summer is your moment. Rich, natural sweetness, deep caramel notes and the ability to balance smoke, spice and charred flavours make it one of the hardest-working ingredients at any BBQ.
In short: your burgers, ribs and vegetables deserve better.
Here are five easy ways to bring St Lawrence Gold to the grill this summer.
1. Maple Honey BBQ wings
Sticky, smoky and slightly addictive.
You’ll need:
- 4 tbsp St Lawrence Gold Pure Dark Maple Syrup
- 2 tbsp St Lawrence Gold Honey
- 4 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
Method:
Simmer everything for 5–7 minutes until glossy. Toss over cooked wings or brush on while grilling.
2. Sticky Maple Ribs
Because dry ribs are a waste of everyone’s time.
Quick glaze:
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp mustard
- Pinch chilli flakes
Brush over ribs during the final 15 minutes of cooking.
3. Maple Glazed Halloumi Skewers
Vegetarians shouldn’t be punished at BBQs.
Thread onto skewers:
- Halloumi
- Courgette
- Red onion
- Peppers
Brush with maple syrup and olive oil before grilling.
Golden edges. Big flavour. Gone quickly.
4. Better Burger Sauce
Your burger sauce has been coasting.
Mix:
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp mustard
- Splash pickle juice
Spread generously and accept compliments modestly.
5. Grilled Corn with Maple Butter
Possibly the easiest crowd-pleaser on this list.
Simply brush maple butter onto hot grilled corn.
Which Maple Syrup Should You Use?
For BBQ recipes, we recommend Pure Dark Maple Syrup.
Its stronger, deeper flavour stands up beautifully to smoke, spice and charred cooking.
