All-American maple syrup, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, fresh peppers, garlic and a pinch of salt make up the ingredients in Vermont Maple Sriracha, a sweet hot sauce that makes this cult condiment even more versatile. Although maple syrup is most often poured over pancakes and waffles, this new mixture could be used over just about anything from burgers to chicken wings.

As well as having tons of appeal for people who are already big fans of that [unmistakable Sriracha spice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-sriracha), the product also aims to win the hearts of consumers who value food that is [all-natural and preservative-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vadasz-hot-sauces).

Another alternative to the classic red hot sauce flavor is a verde version available through the Vermont Maple Sriracha that features a similar flavor with more of an emphasis on tangy citrus flavors.
