I learned all about how maple syrup is made and how much work it takes to make it. Right now it is not maple syrup season but I still was able to see all the equipment and taste four types of it. I liked all of it but especially the darker syrups.
So far I have tried maple syrup candy and it was VERY sweet. My car seat has a little cup holder on my left and right side. In the left side I have a V8 that I haven’t had yet and on the right side I stored my piece of maple syrup candy. It was about half of an inch sized and I took mouse-sized nibbles and made it last a VERY long time. I also tried Maple Seltzer Water. It was not very sweet and it was bubbly and dizzy and just a little bit sweet, but not sweet like a soda.
The most unusual thing to learn was that it takes 40 gallons of maple tree sap to make just one gallon of maple syrup.
