Maple syrup must be boiled to precisely eleven pounds to the gallon. If
any
heavier, it will crystallize. If any lighter, it will mold.
Interesting. The Canadian maple syrup we could buy in the UK was always
thicker than that which I can get here in Chicago. The ingredients in both
cases
as a kid for a wonderful sticky treat. :)

Lucky you! I'm drooling! Waffles, whipped cream, butter and maple
syrup - pour it over

Maple syrup is available in England - and the best always seemed to come

Lucky you! I'm drooling! Waffles, whipped cream, butter and maple

Hi All, I have to add that Vermont maple syrup is also very good!
After all there is a guy out checking his sap buckets on our state quarter.

Some years ago a friend visited Canada and brought us back a sealed jar of
the real thing. I opened it and used it once but next time I looked it had
gone mouldy. The question is should it be refrigerated? (It didn't say so on
the label) and if so it can't be much good as rations.
Anyway lemon
Alas, I was raised on plain sugar syrup (at first, made at home with
brown sugar, white sugar, and water, now store-bought)... and I've
never QUITE gotten used to real maple syrup. But I absolutely love
plain maple sugar candy (often molded into small men and women -
somewhat like gingerbread
