The sap is flowing now here in NB and we are starting to make maple products of all kinds!
Our family has sugar bush however since my dads heart surgery we have not "tapped in". He still runs his maple business he just buys bulk syrup by the barrel and packages it and makes all the other treats from it. We hope to open an other bush next spring if we can find a smaller one to use. One with less trees to tap. The 4000+ we used to tap was just much work in the woods now.
Anyway anyone have some favorite maple products?
We make Cream, butter, maple nuts, even cotton candy from granulated maple sugar.
A great tip if you are serving maple syrup with pancakes or waffles. Heat the syrup up with the butter in it until the butter is melted and the syrup is nearly at the boiling point. It tastes so much better you will never use it cold again.
