In a medium saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and the ingredients are well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Allow the maple spread to cool for about 10-15 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the maple spread into a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Before use, bring the spread to room temperature or warm it slightly if it has hardened.
