PJ: Back in 1999 I ordered from the Baker's Catalogue an item called Maple Flavor Powder. The ingredients say it is comprised of natural and artificial maple flavor with dextrose. It says it can be stored for six months. Well, guess what, I still have some and use it in my maple flavored breads. It imparts a wonderful maple flavor (I'm somewhat of a maple freak so I like an assertive maple flavor). How would you compare this to maple extract, and would you ever consider stocking it in the future. Myrna, I liked that, too. I'll bring this up with our merchandising team, and see if there's another powder we might be able to try. Coincidentally, we were taste-testing three kinds of maple chips/bits/flakes today. So we're working on more maple stuff... PJH
