Maple Syrup Reviews

RE: Maple Syrup Reviews Post By A real Vermonter (Guest Post) (04/20/2006) I hate to tell you that whoever you were talking to knows nothing about maple syrup. Grade: Fancy = best for eating - delicate flavor A = good for eating - a little stronger flavor B = For cooking only - dark - strong flavor which allows the flavor to hold up in cooking - like adding to muffins or cake Note : the man in the grocery store doesn't know what he is talking about. Nothing (no sugar) is added to real maple syrup. Grade: Fancy = light color -delicate flavor = is made in the first few days of syrup making -in early spring A = a little darker - a little stronger flavor B = dark - strong flavor -is the last of the season's run. A good desert - Rag Muffins Heat oven to 375 put 1/2 inch or so of maple syrup in a 13"x9"x2" pan add bits of butter totaling about 2 or 3 tablespoonsful heat in oven only it butter melts then top with baking powder bisquits or you can use the canned ones. Bake about 20 mins or until bisquits are done. RE: Maple Syrup Reviews Post by tedsmom (221) | (04/20/2006) Contact Dakin Farms sells Vermont maple syrup which is delicious. You can go online at dakinfarms.com and order it. I originally ordered some and then, while visiting in Vermont, bought several quarts to bring back home. Grade B really is better than grade A, according to what I was told in Vermont, and the darker the syrup is, the stronger the taste. RE: Maple Syrup Reviews Post By (Guest Post) (04/19/2006) I don't know of a good one, but I overheard a man at the grocery store telling someone that grade B maple syrup was better than grade A because it had more of a maple flavor. He said they add more sugar to grade A. I hope this helps
