    Nothing like maple syrup....I grew up in eastern Canada and one of my uncles had a sugar bush. Fun times eating taffy and riding snowmobiles!

    You've got some fantastic learning lenses here but you really made my mouth water with this one!

    The darker the better, I say. We made maple syrup with our kids when they were small. Actually that was in Quebec (before we lived in Vermont) where -- dare I say it! -- MOST maple syrup is made. There, I've admitted it and set the record straight! Whew!

    Mmmm pancakes in the morning with my favorite maple syrup, thanks for sharing I learned a lot about it. Love the picture with the different shades of syrup. (=

    We went on a Maple Syrup making field trip once. It was really interesting. Great lens. Blessed by a Squid Angel.

    There is a great documetary of the history of sugaring in a small vermont town. It is fascinating and a great account along with pictures of people,sugarhouses and stories of the time. It is a really different and interesting side of Vermont history in the NorthEast Kingdom and the town of Lunenbug. The book is called "A Wicked Good Run" Contact me if interested and I will let you know how to get a copy of this wonderful book.

    Mmm, yes pure maple syrup is the best. I've never made it though we have so many maple trees where we live. But I do love it on my pancakes!

    Great lens - it's the only way to eat pancakes and I add it to my green tea as well.

    Yummy, nothing quite like real maple syrup. Loved learning a bit more about it here.

    Thank you for stopping by to taste the sticky sweetness of our maple syrup.

    When I was a child we would get the cans of maple syrup. I loved it but it's so sweet. I use it in some of my deserts but I don't put it on my pancakes.
    Thanks for sharing

    Lately I have discovered how much pancakes hide the taste of the maple syrup so I now like to eat just a teaspoon of maple syrup all by itself. Sweet and delicious.

    What a "delicious" lens! And I love the pictures!!

    I lensrolled this to my Cooking New England Style lens. Very enjoyable.

    We certainly do like to cook with Maple Syrup in Vermont.
  • JenOfChicago Jan 12, 2010 @ 3:58 pm | delete
    This looks delicious - I really want to find some homemade syrup now!

    Nothing beats Pure Vermont Maple Syrup.

    I enjoy your lenses so much! They are always so educational and loaded with very informative information! My husband is a HUGE fan of Maple Syrup. Every Christmas one of his salesman gives him a bottle of The State of Vermont 100% pure maple syrup as a gift. My husband will not eat anything on his frenchtoast except for this maple syrup.

    Thank you, SquidAngel. Sending you Maple Syrup wishes.

    I too devoured the Laura Ingles Wilder books. The sugaring off dance was one of my favorite tales. Growing up we also ate sugar on snow and as it started to cook down and cool we stirred it until it made maple candy just like Grandma made in the Little House in the Big Woods..

    My husband tells of pulling icicles off maple trees to suck on for the maple flavor. He grew up in Maine.

    As a kid I avidly read Laura Ingalls Wilder's book Little House In The Big Woods and loved her descriptions of maple syrup making back in the 19th century. I looked forward to trying the syrup myself for years, and wasn't disappointed! I think you are really lucky to have the maple tradition as part of your childhood memories :-)
