Pearls Of Maple

• 1/2 cup Grade B Maple Syrup
• 1 cup Couscous or if you are using sago then 1/2 cup soaked and drained
• 1.5 teaspoons Cardamom poder , if you like cinnamon go for it.
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2.5 cups Regular Milk or Almond Milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey, optional
• 2 tablespoons Goji berries or berries of your choice
• Dry fruits like walnuts, pistachios or almond for garnishing
• Fresh fruits to top it of like bananas, apples cherries or raspberries

1. Take butter in a pan on medium heat, add the couscous and saute it for few seconds. Remember if you are using sago , I would recommend you soak and drain sago for about half an hour really depends on the type of sago you are using. The one that I have takes just few seconds to soften.
2. Add the maple syrup to couscous, and let it simmer for some time and add the milk also . And, cook till the milk has reduced and it has thickened quite a bit.
3. Add cardamom powder, vanilla essence and mix well.
4. To serve- Add the nuts, and goji berries and serve fruits on side or garnish it with fresh cut fruit and honey.
