More Maple Goodness


I forgot to add the fact that we pay just as much for our syrup as y'all do. This Four litre jug cost ummmm...55$. I know. But seriously...do you know what you are eating when you buy the cheap stuff? I'll tell you this much.....It isn't maple syrup!!!

I have to admit that I would rather fork out the cash for something 'natural' than consume the factory made fake stuff. After all, I AM all about what is natural and good for me. Of course, maple syrup is still pretty much sugar isn't it? Oh well. I am choosing to ignore that fact.
We just limit ourselves to pancakes every second Saturday.

And the maple candies you see? They are made by heating the Syrup just a little hotter and pouring into molds. Yummm yumm.
Wait a minute. That sign says MAPLE SUGAR, not MAPLE CANDIES. Ah. I get it. You heat the syrup until ALL THAT IS LEFT IS THE SUGAR. O.K. So the candies are the pure sugar. Got it.

We had our maple weekend this past weekend, and took the kids yesterday. It was so much fun. I got a half gallon of lite sryup for about $25.00. Cant wait to make pancakes.
