How to Make Maple Butter

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with ½ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons pure maple flavoring (or maple syrup).
Spread generously over your favorite breakfast treats: pancakes, waffles, toast, biscuits – you name it!
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This will also firm up the butter, making it easier to spread.
Makes approximately 2 cups of delicious maple butter.
