NH Maple Experience is a Springtime Treat


Chef Adam serves up Maple goodness.
If you haven’t visited the New Hampshire Maple Experience yet this spring, we invite you to come on over to The Rocks Estate this weekend for some sweet maple goodness!

Beyond the delicious maple syrup tastings, the Maple Experience includes hands-on learning about the regional springtime tradition of maple sugaring, which reaches back to the earliest European settlers of New England and the Native Americans before then.

Make sure to bring your appetite, as Maple tours include a syrup tasting, complete with freshly made donuts and sour pickles (post a photo of your best sour pickle face on our Facebook page). We’ll also be serving up piping hot pancakes, and will feature chef demos – and tasting samples – both Saturday and Sunday.

Chef Adam from the Indian Head Resort returns to the Maple Experience on Saturday from noon - 1p.m. to cook up – and share – two delicious maple recipes: Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette (atop a crumble salad with romaine lettuce, cranberries, bleu cheese and walnuts) and Maple-glazed Scallops with a Maple Beurre Blanc over pasta.

Chef Kirk from the Sunset Hill House will join us Sunday at noon and cook up Maple Marinated Barbeque Shrimp; an endive salad with candied pecans, dried cranberries, and crumbled goat cheese and topped with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette; and Maple Shortbread.

For these recipes and others featured during past Maple weekends, check out the recipe page on the New Hampshire Maple Experience website.

The New Hampshire Maple Experience is offered at The Rocks Estate this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., as well as next Saturday, April 7. To find out more about the Maple Experience and all it includes, please visit the New Hampshire Maple Experience website.

Celebrate Spring with the NH Maple Experience


The sap is running!
Spring has sprung here in the North Country, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by enjoying the New Hampshire Maple Experience! We opened the 2012 Maple season at TheRocks Estate on Saturday, and we’ll keep on celebrating for the next three weekends.

That means maple syrup tastings, chef demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, and hands-on learning about maple sugaring.

This weekend we’ll welcome two local chefs to the Maple Experience, and you won’t want to miss what they’re cooking up. On Saturday, Chef Adam Parker from the Indian HeadResort will be here from noon-1p.m. dishing up a divine crumble salad with romaine lettuce, cranberries, blue cheese and walnuts topped with Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette. He’ll follow that with Maple-glazed Scallops with a Maple Beurre Blanc over pasta. Yum!

And if you missed Chef Orlo Coots of the Adair Country Inn & Restaurant last weekend, you’re in luck – he’ll be back at The Rocks on Sunday from noon-1 p.m. making his delicious Maple Balsamic Glaze, oh-so-good Whipped Maple Mascarpone, and delectable Walnut Angel Food Chiffon Cake.

Sour pickle face.
As if that’s not enough, the Maple Experience includes a tasting of our own local maple syrup, accompanied by the traditional fresh donut and sour pickle – the perfect blend of sweet and sour! We’re inviting all our Maple visitors to post a photo of their best “sour pickle face” on our Facebook page this season.

Happy maple sugaring season!
