The weather was horrible. It would be very cold, and then warm up, and then cold, and then warm....which is not good for syrup production :(<BR/>The stuff I get isn't as expensive (As it's the stuff from Ontario, which tends to be more watery...still good, but not the excellent stuff that comes from Quebec).<BR/>And also, it's cheaper because it's closer to the source ;) (Right beyond my grandma's back yard actually!)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896212788525627190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-27597683512726644742008-10-13T12:25:00.000-07:002008-10-13T12:25:00.000-07:00My mother made maple syrup the same way when I was...My mother made maple syrup the same way when I was growing up!

Usually, the maple species used are the sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and the black maple (Acer nigrum), because of a high sugar content in the sap of roughly two percent. A maple syrup production farm is called a sugar bush or the sugarwoods. Sap is often boiled in a sugar house (also known as a sugar shack or cabane à sucre), a building which is louvered at the top to vent the steam from the boiling sap.<BR/>---------------------<BR/>Ritaaran<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.widedriven.com" REL="nofollow">Guaranteed ROI</A>Ritaaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032648385026730334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-41588041975562790622008-10-12T20:47:00.000-07:002008-10-12T20:47:00.000-07:00cant wait to try the recipe!cant wait to try the recipe!susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408222629036489746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-42816745521606980192008-10-11T10:16:00.000-07:002008-10-11T10:16:00.000-07:00Thanks for the link!

I always have to top pancakes/waffles/etc with fruit toppings. I was hoping it was an allergy I'd grow out of, but I tried a tiny bit of Maple 2 years ago and still had a bad reaction :(Becca Jane St Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828786828566391585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-92212499332459435432008-10-11T09:38:00.000-07:002008-10-11T09:38:00.000-07:00>>Do you cook with this homemade syrup, or i...>>Do you cook with this homemade syrup, or is it just for drizzling on pancakes?<BR/><BR/>Both.
