Maple syrup products are derived from the sap of sugar maple trees. The sap is collected in early spring and then boiled down to create syrup, which is known for its sweet flavor and rich amber color. Maple syrup is often used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, but it can also be incorporated into various recipes for desserts and marinades. In addition to traditional syrup, there are other maple products such as maple sugar, which is made by further processing syrup until it crystallizes. Maple candy is another popular treat, made by pouring hot syrup into molds. These products offer a unique taste and can be enjoyed in many culinary applications.
