Maple syrup

here in Vermont and New Hampshire they love their maple syrup. It goes in everything. I swear that last night's barbecue sauce was loaded with maple syrup. at pancake restaurants (of which there are many) the tabletop condiments are maple syrup, maple sugar and maple spread. back at the Swiss restaurant at Wayside Inn in Bethlehem Vt, chef Victor Hoffman makes a delicious maple nut salad dressing. He gave me the recipe. Here tis:
victor's maple nut dressing
1/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 cup Dijon mustard (with grains)
1/4 cup hazelnut oil (u can substitute peanut oil)
A little orange juice.
