Maple Syrup
Hello BEs
What is your favourite maple syrup and where do you get it from? I am looking for something that is good but is also easily available (not the sugary Aunt Jemima type of stuff of course).

Re: Maple Syrup
All grocery stores sell some form of Maple syrup. We buy either Grade A or #1 for home use

I can't stand the horrible sickly muck but HID baths in naffing stuff. She swears by the Costco brand.

Re: Maple Syrup
Here's the new Canadian grading system. Don't buy American! As we are in rural Ontario we just drive to the sugar bush and buy a litre or two.

Re: Maple Syrup
On my pancakes/waffles my preference is the Aunt Jemima or store brand flavoured (corn syrup/caramel/fructose)

Re: Maple Syrup
Yes, just why? You live just over an hour from where it's gathered and made too. A Sunday morning drive out to eat a pancake breakfast and to buy the real thing would be a lovely outing.

Re: Maple Syrup
In 2012, we were at a B and B on the west coast of Ireland. The owners had family members living in Vermont who got them hooked on the taste of real maple syrup. We were quite pleasantly surprised when the pancakes available for breakfast came with some 'real' maple syrup from Quebec...at a large cost I'm sure.

Re: Maple Syrup
OK you lot, I'll fess up
Our Daughter recently brought us a small 250ml glass container from the 'Wheeler family Farms' Organic Maple Syrup' & TBH, I just couldn't take to it, maybe because of decades of the 'vile stuff'

Re: Maple Syrup
Wheelers is the place our family tries to go to each year. We usually buy 8 litres/year of their maple syrup.
