About Vermont Maple Syrup
Maple Syrup is a sweet and natural liquid made from the sap of Sugar
Maple Trees. Maple Syrup is usually eaten with pancakes, French toast
or waffles, but it is also used as a topping on ice cream, in baked beans, in pies and cakes, in specialty mustards and salad dressings - anywhere
sugar or a sweetner is used, Maple Syrup can be used.
Have you ever had real, pure Vermont Maple Syrup? If not, you're missing
a sweet and special treat. Most commercial table syrups don't contain any
real maple syrup at all. They're made from corn syrup and artifical flavors.
Maple Syrup is mainly produced in eastern Canada, the north eastern United
States (New England) and the Great Lakes Region, but anywhere maple trees
grow, Maple Syrup can be made.
In the spring, many Vermonters enjoy sugar-on-snow!
We might be a little prejudiced (we call it experienced), but we believe
Pure Vermont Maple Syrup is the best. The state of Vermont takes Maple
Syrup very seriously. The Vermont Department of Agriculture requires that
all Maple Syrup sold in Vermont carries a label showing the grade of the
syrup and the producer. Frank and Barb Dodge of Mansion House Maple Syrup
are members of the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers' Association and recipients
of the 2003 Outstanding Sugarmaker Award.
