Maple Syrup

[sledog]

Ran out, and stores have only fake stuff - Log Cabib, Aunt Jemina, and Mrs Butter. I recall a thread sone time ago about this. Any recomends? Perhaps a mail order from N NE??

ps - stores have some flask sized bottle of genuine maple, but who knows.

Go to Costco or whatever you have where you are. We buy quarts of organic maple syrup at Sam’s Club and Costco where I am for dirt cheap.

As Martha Stewart would tell you, the only place to buy your vanilla extract is Charles Baldwin in West Stockbridge, MA. They also make Baldwin's Table Syrup. "In the 1920s, Earl Baldwin, son of Charles Baldwin, developed Baldwin's Table Syrup in response to requests for a good-tasting syrup that was not as expensive as pure maple syrup. It does not contain preservatives, artificial color or artificial flavor. " We always pick up a bottle when we stop by on our way to Tanglewood.

Maple surup has more sugar than the log cabin surup brand.

If you're trying to loose weight, go with the log cabin that does not use high frutcose corn syrup.

If health is not a concern, go with whatever you like

That stuff tastes bad. Trying to lose weight? go with
Special K.

interesting reality aboot this years sugaring season, especially up at ground zero. at a buds operation in southern vermont, as usual, the gang gets together around new years to place bets on the seasons yield. previous record amount was around 1500 gallons, so bets ranged from 1000 to 2000. final result 2020 there? 2200. cuz, you know, we in Connecticut did, in fact, have snow a couple of times in may this year. look around, the stuff is there to be had at a fair price.

Maple syrup anywhere in VT or NH is $45-50 a gallon, $25-28 per half gallon, etc. it’s all delicious, if worried about weight, maybe pancakes with butter and syrup shouldn’t be part of diet LOL. Once you try real syrup, you can never enjoy disgusting Aunt Jemima crap again. Grade A is good, grade B is just as tasty just a little more raw/earthy.

Ive had the same jar of vanilla extract for maybe three years now. Homemade. Vodka with two large vanilla beans in it. If it gets midway done? Pour in more vodka. Can’t believe I bought those expensive little bottles all this time.

It’s basically just like regular life.

I have pancakes only ~once / 3 months, so the syrup supply lasts quite a while. Therefore, I forgot where I got the last batch of GOOD stuff in Maine (I think). I won't use any of that sugar water stuff. Would like a suggestion to some more good stuff. And no Costco anywhere nearby.

Buying maple syrup worried about sugar content is like buying steak worried about having too much meat in it

When I lived in NW CT, we used to make about 5 gallons of syrup every year.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I got a guy in northern Vermont who taps his own and he is all I use.

If you live New England and buy off the shelves on stores you only have yourself to blame.

That’s a lot of liquid to process, what is it 40 down to 1 gallon?

Our oldest son makes his own. He has about 30 maple trees on his property. Taps the trees, fills the evaporator and maple syrup. He purchased a wood fired evaporator in the fall. Our daughter-in-law takes several bottles and puts a vanilla stick in it. Great stuff.

Unfortunately, no trips to CT this year. We'll have to wait until next year.

1. Vermont County Store

https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/amber-maple-syrup-pint-bottle/product/38874

It is very healthy in spite of the calories, unless you are diabetic.

2. Amazon sells other brands

3. If you want some sweetener that is a little bittersweet, try Naples Drizzle which is sweetened by grape must, 36 calories for one tablespoon(fewer calories and can go on oatmeal, veggies, potatoes, yogurt)

BTW, any balsamic glaze is pretty good

Buy from Sugarbush farm in VT. It’s the best syrup you’ll ever have, especially the more robust varieties. Great place to visit as well if you’re in the area.

You must not bake
