1 or 2% of the real thing and is mostly corn syrup, amber coloring and artificial maple flavor. Log Cabin
and Aunt Jemima's come to mind immediately. US Grade A light amber, (very expensive) or US Grade A
dark amber, (moderately expensive), are the only way to go. If it tastes cloyingly sweet your not getting
the real stuff. If it's too watery your drinking sap.

Again, you're a first, Jostein! I've never heard of anyone NOT liking real maple syrup!
you can count me in on that - it's so sweet it's revolting. Rather like baklava. And I eat honey on toast or bagels for breakfast every day.
That's why it's usually mixed with some generic thicker sweetener maybe like Karo, to make it less intense.
You're both right, that PURE maple syrup is a bit much. but, properly mixed with an adulterant, it's a delight...
