Maple Syrup - Try It In Your Favorite Recipe

Substitute ¾ of a cup of maple syrup for each cup of sugar and reduce the liquid in the recipe by 3 tablespoons. When replacing granulated white sugar with maple sugar in a recipe use the same amount.

Maple Syrup - Bringing It To You

Maple syrup is made from the sap of the maple tree during a brief time every

spring when there are freezing nights and warm days. To produce one gallon

of maple syrup, about forty gallons of sap must be collected. The maple trees

from which the sap is gathered average around 50 years of age. The sap is

boiled, causing only the water to evaporate. The remaining liquid

becomes more and more concentrated, leaving the wonderful sweetness and

minerals of the maple tree.
