• Vermont Cheddar-Crusted Apple Pie

  Six ounces of two-year cheddar grated into the pastry instead of laid on the plate beside it, over sour apples sweetened with maple sugar the way the state's own 1915 bulletin does it.

• Vermont Maple Baked Beans

  Yellow-eye beans baked six hours with salt pork and dark maple syrup, half the syrup in at the start and half in the last hour, because maple loses its flavour long before beans lose their chalk.
