Product Description
Delighting in nature's liquid gold. In this richly illustrated book, the authors explore every aspect of maple syrup's history and lore, from Native legends surrounding its discovery to its importance in the pioneer diet. They explain the sugar maple's exalted status in the maple tree family and why maple sap is still one of nature's great mysteries. Included are details of how sugar maples are tapped and how the sap is collected, a long-standing and important tradition in New England. The Maple Syrup Book also includes insights from producers of maple syrup and maple sugar as they reveal their affection for a shared passion. A Maple Syrup Flavor Wheel describes the many colors, grades, and flavor variations available, and there are selected recipes and notes on cooking with maple syrup.

What a beautiful and informative book! April 30, 2008

We really have to thank our Canadian neighbo(u)rs for this one. I've just done a bit of research on the sugaring process, and I can say that this is the nicest book on the subject. It's informative -- not only about current practices, but also about the history and culture surrounding maple sugar and syrup. It can appeal to a wide audience, from children to adults, because of the simple way the information is arranged. But best of all - it's gorgeous! Every photo is in color. You get only a taste (!) of what's inside from the stunning cover, which depicts a variety of syrup bottles. Extra bonuses include the "Flavour wheel for maple products" and a variety of recipes. Helen and Scott Nearing's "The Maple Sugar Book" (1950, 1972, 2000) may be the classic reference, but writer Janet Eagleson and photographer Rosemary Hasner should get some kind of award for producing such a useful yet lovely volume. Granted, folks who want to get into commercial sugaring should track down a copy of the Nearings' work. But syrup connoisseurs and backyard sugarers will enjoy turning the pages of this one, over and over. It's small enough to fit onto any bookshelf, yet elegant enough to grace any coffee table, year round.
