Pure Maple Syrup is made in the springtime when the trees are thawing out from a long winters nap. Many books have been written explaining how to properly make Maple Syrup and experts from all over the maple belt like to offer advice on proper production techniques. However, making great tasting Maple Syrup is not something you learn about from a book. It is not something you learn from a class. Great syrup making is an art that takes years to perfect. It is a skill that is passed down from generation to generation through the most subtle ways.
