  • The Maple Guild in Island Pond, Vermont produces 1 million bottles of maple syrup each year.
    It takes about 44 gallons of sap to make just 1 gallon of syrup. The Maple Guild pioneered a method called Steam-Crafting, which speeds up the production process.

      Trees produce sap only during the right weather conditions. So due to climate change there will be years with lots and lots of sap and years with barely any.

      It's great at increasing production for low years where maple syrup is so low that the prices get jacked up. This way the vast majority can buy at the store and those of us who are lucky enough can still go to our local farmers and pay the same thing you did the year before

  • @MattieAMiller
    @MattieAMiller Před 3 lety +343

    Maple syrup production actually peaked in the US almost 100 years ago. Syrup production was 4 times higher in 1900 than 2000. The reason for the decline is that most maple syrup back then was produced at the family level, not commercial. If you had maple trees on your property, you were probably making maple syrup back then. The tradition died in most places as consumerism took over, as did the taste for maple.

      It was the production of maple _sugar_ that died down, which is what maple sap was mostly used for up until the early 1900s when other cheaper sources of sugar (and cheaper mass transportation) rose to prominence, thus causing the decline in maple sap harvesting. But maple _syrup_ itself began to slowly become more and more popular as time went on since then before exploding within the last couple of decades.

    Listen, I'm a born and raised vermonter and I can tell you, the traditional way of boiling is so much better and it doesn't give it a more maple flavor, it makes it more like the fake shit. And that grade a stuff that they were showing, looks like it's not boiled at all. When you want maple syrup, it has to be a deep amber color. The darker, the sweeter and more rich maple flavor it is.

    Grew up making maple syrup in VT. My family’s sugar house is old enough so no one alive knows when it was built. While operations like this are where your VT maple syrup in the store comes from, there are a ton that do it more old fashioned. And if you find yourself in VT during sugaring season, I encourage you to stop in and check out one of the smaller operations. It’s really cool, and they’ll give you free samples and probably hand you a beer

      The shenamesh (maple tree) are sacred and respected. If these wyt men cared about the trees they would offer sema and prayer then cut with an axe to wzhek'ge (tap a tree) then the zisbakwtabo flows. The teachings of the ancestors, Nanabozho poured water into the trees to dilute the sap, making ziwagmedé (maple sugar) a hard and challenging to make, requiring community to come together and share in the bounty of Maple Nation. Each tree is a living being this made me feel sick to watch.

    Ok, but I'm Canadian and I know that the lower the grade of the maple syrup the better it tastes. It means that it was cooked slower, over less heat, allowing more time for the sugars to caramelize and tastes more sugary. The best maple syrup isn't found in the stores, it's made by hand by people with no machines or equipment just a cabin in the woods with a few maple trees on it. This kinda moonshine maple syrup is almost pitch black, and tastes so delicious and sweet.

      Really? Did they have fun washing down their walls afterwards? I live in Vermont and we have a small sugar house and tap about 200 trees. A lot of Vermonters are hobby sugarmakers. My neighbors tried boiling sap on their wood stove in their living room and the resulting steam made their living room walls and ceiling sticky.

    I love the fact that it's reduced to a syrup by steam instead of direct heat. The output is staggering!
    Hopefully, this makes it more affordable for those who would like to switch from corn syrup based stuff.

      I dont like my sugar carmelized so I think it sounds great as well. I just wish the starting sap had more plant oils in it because i like a lot of subtle flavors...it probably lowers the quality and shelf life though

    My neighbors when I was a child sugared; they collected buckets by hand, pouring into a big tub on a sleigh pulled by draft horses, Tom and Jerry. Once collected they would boil the sap thru a series of connected trays until it reached perfection in the final tray. My best memory was to pour the finished syrup on a clean patch of snow and then eat the solidified sugary goo.

    Every year i purchased all i could afford. About 36 to 40 cans.
    No more as everyone has passed away.

    To call maple syrup produced by a more delicate heating process, ‘more nuanced’ is like calling white sugar more nuanced than caramel. The long cooking process is what gives maple syrup its character, slow food is better than fast food. If this was a thing us Canucks would be doing it already.
