masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed.

Add maple syrup, margarine or butter, and salt. Gradually beat in enough

sweetener available to the colonists. Two common uses were to dress up
sweet potatoes and to add flavor to beans. Today, Vermont leads the
country in maple syrup production.
