This watery sap is then evaporated down to make the sweet, oozing maple syrup we all know and love. Fun fact: it takes 30 to 40 litres of maple sap to make just one litre of maple syrup!</p><p>From roasted meats to vegan salads and (of course) waffles, check out our fave maple syrup recipes below.</p><h2>Cauliflower cous cous </h2><p><a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/cauliflower/asda-growers-selection-cauliflower/20368" target="_blank">Cauliflower</a> can taste slightly bitter when raw, but that works perfectly with <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/cauliflower-couscous" target="_blank">our curried maple dressing in this low-carb cous cous salad</a>.
