Vermont Maple Syrup: Crafted Near the Canadian Border

Maple Syrup Process
Maple syrup, a natural sweetener, is crafted from the sap of maple trees.
In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before winter, which transforms into sugar that rises in the sap during late winter and early spring. The process is the same in Canada and United States.
By tapping the trees—drilling holes into their trunks—the sap is collected and heated to evaporate water, leaving behind the rich, concentrated syrup we love.
The normal maple syrup season in United States and Canada lasts 4 to 6 weeks, sap flow is heaviest for 10 to 20 days, sometimes starting as early as February in southern Vermont and lasting into late April in northern Vermont.
A pattern of freezing and thawing temperatures (below freezing at night and 4 – 7°C during the day) will build up pressure within the trees causing the sap to flow from the tapholes. The sap is then transferred to the Sugar House where it is evaporated to produce sweet delicious Maple Syrup or Sugar.
The darker the Maple Syrup the stronger the flavour.
Maple Syrup Grades
Golden, Delicate Taste – Usually made at the beginning of the new maple season. Pour over vanilla ice cream for a Vermont maple sundae, sometimes called the Sugarmakers’ Favorite Dessert.
Amber, Rich Taste – Usually made about mid-season and seems to be the most popular for all around use. A good choice for gifts.
Dark, Robust Taste – As the maple season progresses, the syrup darkens in color and develops a more robust maple flavor. Good for all around use, its hearty flavor is a great choice for all kinds of recipes. Pour over baked apples or squash, use as a glaze for meats and vegetables.
Very Dark, Strong Taste – Produced at the end of the season, it’s perfect for cooking! Makes Vermont baked beans, breads, and cookies especially tasty.
