About the Holiday

National Maple Syrup Day celebrates the sweet treat we typically put on our pancakes and waffles. Did you know that the Native Americans were the first to make Maple Syrup? Not surprising since North America is the only place it can be made. It is actually not easy to make. The timing is everything as the sap only "runs" for a 2 to 3 week period and once the maple tree buds the sap isn't good anymore. It also takes a lot of sap to make maple syrup so enjoy every sweet sticky bite. Maple Syrup goes well on ice cream too.

Also, look for Pure Maple Syrup on the label or you may not be getting the real stuff.
