Maple Syrup

This thread on Maple syrup is quite a coincidence.
For dinner tonight I sautéed a dozen large sea scallops, prior to serving I drizzled a bit of maple syrup on each one. Made a to die for sauce by reducing the drippings, adding sautéed onions, mushrooms, garlic and heavy cream, seasoned with salt, pepper, and a pinch of curry.

Costco sells the real 100% Maple Syrup and while expensive it it excellent! I buy it buy the liter and believe it to be around around $14 bucks per container. Not cheap but it does last a while and more importantly is delicious.

Those CT folks are hanging in!
After the stomping Mrs. Buttersworth got, I hesitate to mention Brer Rabbit.
Rabbits are usually faster than little old lady-bugs, but if you have Beagles you run him down.
Down South, The local made Sorghum is the Gold standard.
Somebody posted some excellent looking Sorghum is Ringo's Sweet Cornbread thread.

There are several Amish around here that make it. Around $30 a gallon as well. We buy a gallon in season and put it in the freezer and use it to fill a smaller bottle in the fridge. A gallon lasts us about a year. It's way more expensive in the store.

Is there sugaring in Ohio?
Maybe the Amish guy is thinning it with clear corn syrup and a dash of maple flavoring. Who'd know the diff?

I just bought a 1-pinter here a few weeks ago and almost 1/2 used already.
If I feel a "tickle" in the throat, I take a swig of it. But at about $10 bucks for that pint-not something I can afford all the time. However-whgat I was raised on was either Aunt Jemima-or Caro? (Karo) Syrup. Mrs. Butterworth a decent 2nd.

Speaking of: Log Cabin. When it first came out-it came out in Log Cabin tins and you poured the syrup from the chimney. When I collected tins--I had one of those-dont remember the date?
Oh yeah. Or good french toast drenched in maple syrup. Yum. Not good for my waist line, but every now & then ...

You bet there is maple syrup produced in Ohio!! Until 2 years ago my neighbor down the road in Centerburg put out 700 buckets. Reason for quitting was that he, and his fellow workers were getting too old to cut the 30 cords of wood necessary to evaporate thousands of gallons of sap. Northeast Ohio is a big producer too. Heck, I made a pint of syrup myself from our 3 large sugar maples. Boiled it outside and finished it on the stove. You must watch the pan like a hawk!
Lots of Amish families have a sugar camp as well.
Adulterating maple syrup with corn syrup is the 8th deadly sin, and against the law, if labeled "pure maple syrup".

Use to help in a small dairy farm's sugar camp back in the 60s.......wooden buckets gave way to tin ...... to plastic tubing...........
steam coming out every crack in the Camp.....
What a hoot....................pretty much 24/7 while the water dripped.

Yeah, that's kind of what I said.
I wish I had saved a few of the tins. They'd be worth some bucks today.

I love buckwheat honey.
The last I had was as dark as sorghum molasses and had a wonderful, deep flavor with just a slight bitter edge that delighted me.
Buckwheat Honey is my all time favorite. I buy two of these from a local beekeeper that has a booth at the State fair every year. if I'm careful, it last until the following year.
The wife and I tap a few of our trees and manage to boil down 4 or 5 quarts each season. We use burn wood and finish with propane. We do it more as a hobby than to save money, probably costs more store bought.

Biscuits require sausage gravy. Jelly goes on toast or, with crunchy peanut butter, on bread.
