Many people associate the rich, warm flavor of maple with fall, but did you know that the process of making maple syrup—known as "sugaring"—actually takes place in the spring?
In New England, maple sugaring season runs from February to April, when warm days and freezing nights cause maple trees to release their sap. This sap is collected, boiled down, and transformed into the sweet, golden syrup we love.
Fun Facts About Maple Sugaring:
1) It takes about 40 gallons of sap to produce just one gallon of maple syrup!
2) New England is one of the top maple syrup-producing regions in the world, with Vermont leading the U.S. in production.
3) Maple syrup is graded based on color and flavor, ranging from
Golden Delicate to Very Dark Strong.
