BORHILL Maapirnisiirup is a thick syrup made from Jerusalem artichoke, also known as maapirn or topinambur. It can be stirred into herbal tea, coffee or smoothies, drizzled over porridge, pancakes, curd or yogurt, or mixed into homemade dressings when you want a slightly sweet taste without using ordinary sugar.
Because the syrup’s sweetness comes mainly from naturally occurring inulin rather than added sugar, it will not behave exactly like table sugar in every recipe. It is well suited for spooning, stirring and drizzling, but if you use it in baking, you may need to adjust the liquid balance and taste as you go, since syrups add moisture as well as sweetness.
The flavour is not neutral: the source describes it as having an earthy-caramel note typical of Jerusalem artichoke syrup. That makes it a good match for oatmeal, fermented dairy foods, pancakes, nutty breakfasts, herbal infusions and simple sauces. If you are trying it for the first time, start with a small amount so you can judge both the taste and how your digestion responds.
