Maple syrup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Traditionally, maple syrup was harvested by tapping a maple tree and then letting the sap run into a bucket; more advanced methods have, however, since superseded this. |
 | | Syrup made late in the season, when there are no longer nightime freezes, is dark, and the flavor is said to be "buddy", which decreases its value. |
 | | Maple syrup is sometimes boiled down further to make maple sugar, a hard candy usually sold in pressed blocks, and translucent candy (similar to taffy) which may be poured on snow to harden it for eating. |
