Looks a fascinating visit, I'm just running off to the pantry to remove the bottle of maple syrup into the fridge , that's of course if we have any left, it doesn't tend to last long around here :)<br />Wren xLittle Wandering Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461692611319918593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-44271284373778215602016-04-04T13:37:11.456-04:002016-04-04T13:37:11.456-04:00What a great activity to be part of Jeanie!

I've read various descriptions, but never seen it.<br /><br />Maple flavor is marvelous, whether in maple syrup, maple sugar, or maple candy (only the kind made from pure maple sugar, not the fake kind). Here in Ann Arbor, we have an artisan maple sugar farmer who sells at the farmers' market (or did the last time I checked) as well as the mass-market maple syrup from Costco, which is in fact also pure maple syrup from Canada, I think. I hate the fake kind like Log Cabin syrup.<br /><br />I love how you inspired so many commeters to tell about their experiences and tastes.<br /><br />best... mae at maefood.blogspot.comMae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-53889265404776147482016-04-03T08:12:21.974-04:002016-04-03T08:12:21.974-04:00So jealous of you right now!

I hate that it's the case, but it especially bothers hubby, who has actually had the stuff straight from the tree. I only ever had "real" maple syrup once... Enough to know the stuff the supermarket calls the real thing so isn't. But, beggars can't be choosers, and since my choice is the bottle of maple syrup from the supermarket, or none at all, I think I'll take the stuff from the supermarket.Victoria Ziglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872256336482196922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-85985363453776935882016-04-03T07:47:36.694-04:002016-04-03T07:47:36.694-04:00I've been buying maple syrup from farms for ye...I've been buying maple syrup from farms for years. Nothing beats the taste, that's for sure. Last winter, I bought some Michigan syrup, from a farm in Charlevoix that supplies American Spoon. It was interesting to note the difference in taste from the Vermont syrup I'd had. Both were excellent, but different.<br /><br />I learned that lesson about refrigerating syrup the hard way. It doesn't take long for real maple syrup to grow a little fuzzy, especially in the Gulf coast heat. Luckily, there wasn't much left in the bottle, so I didn't lose much. I learned later that skimming and re-heating was all that was needed, but I don't think I'd have been comfortable with that, anyway. shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-38749709749781849982016-04-03T02:03:33.291-04:002016-04-03T02:03:33.291-04:00I alway say that the only problem with maple syrup...I alway say that the only problem with maple syrup is that once you taste it, you'll never be satisfied with any other kind of syrup. I always have in the fridge. It's so good. <br /><br />We used to visit my sister in New Hampshire every year, and we always came home with plenty of maple syrup - some for us and some for gifts. <br /><br />Guys (and gals) who have a knack for running a small business are among the most industrious people we have in this country. They are so devoted to their work and proud of it. <br /><br />Interesting post, Jeanie. Makes me want pancakes.

However, I have to admit I don't refrigerate ours. I think wih Bob and the Grands consuming it, it doesn't last long enough to mold! His equipment looks so clean.

There is really nothing like real maple syrup. I don't think I could go back to the fakey tasting super market stuff. Since I'm GF I don't eat french toast or pancakes much so I usually buy the dark maple syrup since I use it for things like granola and salad dressings.
