So how is everyone’s week going? Seems like they are getting longer and longer until the weekend, haha! Well I thought I’d make today’s post on the different types of products that are made from pure Vt. maple syrup. Yes there are a lot more uses than just as a syrup.
If you heat the maple syrup just right you can make all kinds of different things with it. From maple sugar, cream, candy, fudge and lots more, Vt. maple syrup can be used for lots of tasty products. Below is a short list of maple products that you can find. (more…)

So what’s everybody doing this fine Sunday! The weather is getting warmer, I sure look forward to summer after this long winter. Well, today I thought I would explain about the different types of Vt. maple syrup grades. You see, maple syrup does not come in just one taste or color.
If its fake maple syrup made in a factory then they can pump out the same stuff batch after batch. But because real Vt. maple syrup is pure organic with nothing added, different batches can look and taste different. So, we made different labels for them.
When the sap first starts to run, it tends to be clearer and lighter, so the maple syrup is also clearer and lighter. As the season starts to end the sap gets a bit darker and heavier. Also sap can vary from tree to tree. So just what is the best grade of Vt. maple syrup? (more…)

Hi everyone. Today I thought I’d write about something many people don’t know about. What is maple syrup? Seems like a no brainer, but a lot of people don’t really know the difference between fake and real maple syrup. What’s even more confusing is the labels that are allowed on them.
Just the other day I was in the supermarket, and picked up a very well known brand of maple syrup. Right on the label it said “100% pure maple syrup”. I was surprised at that, because I knew that could not be true. So I looked at the ingredients. Sure enough it was processed sugar, flavoring, additives, everything but maple syrup!
In fact it had no maple syrup in it whatsoever! Well how can they call it that then, they have to be truthful with food labels. Well, it’s because it just said it was maple syrup. NOT pure maple syrup, or Vermont pure maple syrup. The fact is, you can mix up some sugar and flavoring and legally call it maple syrup! (more…)
