Why does Canada have a Maple syrup reserve in the first place?

[kiwigtx]

We get Maple Syrup down here that is purported to be made in Canada.....sometimes it might be made to a recipe, or even cut from virgin syrup....who knows. But we also get maple flavoured syrup....which is watery by comparison.

Steeve's is the brand we mostly buy here. Beautiful on blueberry and oatmeal pancakes.

There could be something to the overheated thing, but it doesn’t taste burned to me. Just stronger. I also heard it depends on if it’s early or late in the season, but I dunno.
The locals here make syrup from birch sap, but I don’t like it. Tastes bitter, to me at least.

You are right, syrup is darker at the end of the season..

wow, imported from New Zeland. Look at the ingredients: liquid sugar and a drop of maple syrup. Lol

Not only is Costco's Kirkland maple syrup the best, all natural and must be refrigerated after opening, it has a drip less pour spout that never has the syrup running down the outside. Ok, I'm done..

All Canadian maple syrup has the same regulations to follow: pure maple sap is the only ingredient allowed, no matter what brand name is on the bottle. There are four grades: Golden, Amber, Dark and Very Dark. In Canada, maple syrup must be made entirely from maple sap, and syrup must have a density of 66° on the Brix scale to be marketed as maple syrup. (

Being that I’m from Maskachusetts, getting fresh New England made maple syrup isn’t a problem. I hate that fake man-made crap.

Where is "Maskachusetts?"

 

[kiwigtx]

Where is "Maskachusetts?"

Down the road a tad from Taxachusetts.

Sandwiched between Rho-D'Island & Cow Hamshire.

HEY!!
That's actually an absolutely true statement, you know.
Everyone else has the damn "accent", not us.

On the subject at hand, the wife and I both are syrup "snobs" and insist on Canadian maple....
but that stuff has gone all $$$$ down this way (even Vermont stuff has, too) and we can't justify it
anymore. I miss it....

PM me yer addresss and $55 bucks and i'll send you a half gallon from our trees.

Ok, but I don't have to go to Canada to get mine, Costco is 4 miles from my house AND mine still has a drip less pour spout that never has the syrup running down the outside.LOL

This reminds me again why you two should never be in the same room at the same time.

`Here's what's in my fridge: Real Maple Syrup taken from MY trees and produced by my neighbor up the road 1/4 mile. I am willing to trans ship a half gallon, or whatever, to anyone on this forum who wants some. PM me your syrup needs and i'll get you a quote for that golden dream.

 

[Brandy]

Or...lol....you COULD just write an actual letter to Mike & Amy and ask what their prices are, they will ship to you.

Imported 'by' DKSH New Zealand LTD....and exported by Canadian Syrup INC. is what I see on the bottle.

The maple syrup I made was the most expensive maple syrup I ever had! lol The wife just rolls her eyes at me when I get into something different. Well I am Canadian after all. My old next door neighbor was from Quebec and he was doing it. When he passed his wife let me use his trees and mine for a total of 6 trees! lol But after many many hours of boiling down I made myself a gallon syrup. 40 to 1 ratio. Wife didn't like it??? Go figure. Just can't win. lol
I liked putting it on ham when cooking. Along with pancakes and french toast of course.
