Maple Syrup

[A-37]

Prices in NE OH range from $50-$70 per gallon.

Bought two gallons from an Amish producer the other day for $30/gal. I commented on his reasonable price. Tasted it when I got home and it was good as any I've bought over the years.

He said some guy bought 40 gallons the day before. I suspect he's a maple syrup re-seller. Capitalism at its best.

My wife transfers the syrup from gallon jugs to 1.5 pint jars and cans them. Lasts forever.

Good stuff, but at that price, I like Mrs. Butterworth about as well. I don't eat many pancakes anyway, would probably have most of a gallon left when I go to my grave. .

Vermont prices for a gallon are in the $50 vicinity. The Amish guy should charge more, given the work he's putting into making a gallon. DWalt, if you ever visit Vermont, rest assured, no restaurant will be serving you that Mrs. Butterworth stuff, you'd get the real thing!

In South W. Pa. it goes up pretty fast every step it takes away from the tree....... in Somerset it's often double in the local gift shops/restaurants vs. the Amish farm down the road.......

Ya got my attention with this post! We only use the cheap stuff while camping (since we usually drag along one of my wife's friends who ain't no epicurean expert) but always use the real stuff at home! I figure the extra cost is worth the flavor!

Real maple syrup is also an anti-inflammatory as well as tasting good

We have several farms in the area that make it, when I was a kid we had several sugar maples in our yard, my father made it every year.

In Vermont this week as I read this. Will definitely be having some real VT Maple Syrup while here!

I'm a maple syrup addict when it comes to pancake syrup. If I go out to a restaurant for breakfast, I bring my own maple syrup.

Costco is my "dealer".

Bless the Mrs. Butterworth likers hearts.
Corn syrup, molasses, Lord knows what else.
Here in the hinterlands my wife will grab whatever she sees
when we run low. Fine by me as long as it has but one ingredient.

Half the maple syrup sold as "Vermont" is collected in NY state - some is from Quebec too

Don't know what it's going for this year. Missed my annual fishing
trip to Ontario. Always pick up a gallon of maple syrup and a
whole Canadian Pea Meal Bacon. Use to buy syrup from Ma & Pa
stands up on Rt. #11, up around North Bay. Things have got more civilized up around there in last 30 yrs, and ran the Ma &
Pa places out.

I'm told I am a terribly flawed human being, and probably un-American.

I'm not that fond of the flavor of maple syrup.

Could be because I'm a southerner and didn't grow up on it--we used honey, molasses, sorghum, or rarely the old Log Cabin syrup that in those days came in a tin shaped like a little log cabin. (As I recall, the chimney was the pour spout.) Whatever the reason, I'm not crazy about maple syrup and damn sure wouldn't pay $20 a gallon, much less $50, for it.

Wow--I hadn't thought about the little log cabin can in probably sixty years!

Most of the commercial 'maple' syrup is just high fructose corn syrup and a bunch of chemicals. The real stuff is also in Wisconsin.

Us southern boys don't make maple syrup but we have muscadine jelly instead.

I'm a big fan of the darker grade maple syrup myself for my flapjacks or waffles. That is, if there isn't any Buckwheat honey to be found.

 

[STCM(SW)]

Grade "B"dark is the good stuff!
Harder to come by, that fancy A grade stuff is for sissy's....

Fresh biscuits and mayhaw jelly. Or....cornbread just out the oven, melt some honey on it.
