@ehBeth,
Now ,while I dearly love maple syrup.(French toast, waffles,ice cream, donuts),on SCrapple, the flavor of a blackstrap molasses like Brer Rabbit is a Pa Dutch staple.Molasses is not too sweet and accompanies and tops off the scrapple slice just perfectly.
People who eat scrapple with KETCHUP are usually avoided in restaurants and wheneverthe occasional cave-person puts ketchup on their scrapple you can hear a sudden silence in the restaurant followed by waves of groans from the customers whove just had ther scrapply bliss shattered by very poor taste.
