Our Maple Syrup

Pure maple products are made only from the sap of maple trees. They contain no preservatives or artificial colors or flavoring. Maple syrup contains 62 calories per tablespoon.

Pure maple syrup is sold by color. Grade A golden color is primarily used to make maple cream or candy. Grade A amber color, with a delicate flavor, is used as table syrup. Grade A Dark color is primarily used for those who like a stronger maple flavor for their table use.

Unopened containers of maple syrup should be stored in a cool, dry place. Store opened containers in the refrigerator. You can also re-can open containers by heating the syrup to 180°, pouring hot syrup into sterilized jars and sealing. Syrup can also be frozen. If mold is develops on the syrup then skim the mold from the top, heat the syrup, and then boil for 3 minutes.

Maple cream keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks. Larger amounts may be kept in the freezer. Maple cream should always be stirred before using.

The maple season lasts about 8 to 10 weeks, starting from January through early April. Warm sunny days (temperatures above 40° F) and cold nights are ideal for best sap flow. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup. Tapping does not damage the trees and only about 10% of the sap is collected each year.

Recipes

Maple Syrup – Gift of the Indians
The art of making maple syrup was discovered by the Algonquin Indians. Legend relates that a squaw was preparing venison during the “Season of the Melting Snow”. On her way to the spring for water, she noticed in a huge sugar maple tree, a large cavity full of water dripping from a broken branch. She used this “water” to boil the venison. When her Chief ate the meat he found the gravy sweet and delicious. He spread the good news that the “Great Spirit” had guided his squaw in making a delicious new food. Soon all the squaws were sugar-making — “seensibaukwut”, and the braves were doing the “Sugar Dance” during the “Season of the Melting Snow.”
