Assateague, here is something that you will find interesting, a bit about making syrup out of silver and red maples-

I don't want to fuck it up by actually trying to learn about it first.

Fuck that, learn on the fly, It's the only way.

You are probably going to notice no taste difference at all. I have some Vermont and a ton from Canada. NY and VT are identical and the Canadian is just a tad thicker. Its on the top shelf of the fridge. Borderline frozen. Perfect for dipping a popsicle stick in.

I found that picture online, but in the store I thought it was grade B.
Which is better than grade A, right?

[Tomkat]

I dont analyze it, I just enjoy it.

I just finished a pile of pancakes with some MI maple syrup! Finished is putting it politely, more like murdered!

Good shit huh? I am looking forward to trying some of Jarbos NY state maple syrup. I am going to become a syrup junkie.

I actually had it in my Gor-met coffee too with a splash of 50/50. I ended up making about 2 gallons just from the 4 trees I tapped in my yard. I keep a squirt bottle off it in my fridge for easy dispensing on ice cream, coffee, hot cakes, or whatever i want.

darker has more maple flavor, i keep the darker for my own, the light gets sold to yuppies and hipsters that dont know shit.
i do make lots of maple candy that gets handed out as gifts each year, i like it more then the syrup

Blonde syrup does not have less flavor, it has a different flavor, you heathens have an unrefined tongue, I'll leave it at that. I prefer the syrup you start getting about the second week in and even that from year to year can vary greatly

[Tomkat]

I dont analyize it, I just eat it.

[one2many]

is there anyplace in this thread where i said light maple has"no flavor" nope not a once i said has less maple flavor and its the truth. sorry you are wrong, i know its a first and hard for you to take but we will all be here to support you Bro.








New York Grade A Light Amber or Vermont Fancy — the lightest of the three classifications has a mild, delicate flavor

Medium Amber — a bit darker with a fuller flavor

Dark Amber — the darkest of the three grades has a stronger maple, caramel, and other flavors

Grade B — has the strongest flavors






dont trust me look into it
and i been in a sugar shack since i could walk

[Tomkat]

And I was over 50 before I ever got to taste maple syrup. And I love it.
