SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

Picture a quiet, tree-filled glen.
The snow is melting and a hint
of spring is in the air. Into this
tranquil scene comes a half
frozen, pail-toting flapjack fiend
who starts running from tree to
tree trying to collect it's liquid
gold. Yes folks, it's maple syrup
time.
People always seem to equate
maple syrup with Vermont. They
must have a great press agent
because, Canada, and surprise,
surprise, Michigan are right up
there in amount of syrup pro-
duced. The wide variety of maple
trees provide the sap for maple
syrup but the sugar maple pro-
vides the sweetest sap. There are
different grades of maple syrup
that range in color from pale yel-
low (lightest flavor) to deep am-
ber (deeper, more robust flavor).
Once collected, the almost clear
sap is boiled down to reduce the
water content and create the
syrup.
Don't worry, gathering the sap
doesn't do any harm to the trees.
The tapping of the trees is only
done from late January to early
April and only when the weath-
er conditions of warmer days and
cooler nights makes it possible.
Finding the real stuffis worth
the effort because there is noth-
ing that can compare to the taste
of real maple syrup. It's full-bod-
ied, smoky, caramel flavor adds
a zing to everything from salads
to desserts.
Be warned, however, that not
all maple syrup is kosher. Look
for labeling.
