| | Traditional Native Maple Sugar |
 | | Sugar was a basic seasoning for grains and breads, stews, teas, berries, vegetables. | | | Maple sugar was so important that it gave its name to the month (late March-April, in northern Minnesota) when sugaring took place: Izhkigamisegi Geezis, the Moon (month) of boiling. | | | When the boiled sugar was about to granluate in its final boil-down, it was poured into a wooden sugaring trough, made from a smoothed-out log. |

| | Sugar remaining in the leaves combines with other substances, and the leaves show their spectacular red and gold colors of fall. | | | For the sugarmaker it is a time to package and sell his maple syrup. | | | Most sugarhouses in Massachusetts are open to the public during the boiling season, and many have restaurants where you can have pancake breakfasts with freshly made maple syrup. |

| | Sugaring Off: The Maple Sugar Paintings of Eastmen Johnson |
| | Maple sugar continued to be widely used throughout the eighteenth century when white cane sugar was considered a great luxury. | | | Maple sugar was also rooted in the heritage and history of the republic. | | | A strong supporter of the Union cause, Johnson identified maple sugar, created by free people in their own community, as a valuable alternative to cane sugar produced by slaves. |

| | The preparation of maple sugar and syrup is strictly a farm industry, occurring from Kentucky northwest to Iowa, northeast to Maine and north into Canada. | | | To produce various types of maple sugar, the syrup is further heated and additional water driven off. | | | Sugar content of the sap also varies widelv, from l0 to 30°Brix or higher. |

| | Sugar maple sap is preferred for making maple syrup because it has an average sugar content of two percent. | | | Most maple syrup is made from sugar maple sap. | | | Ornamental maples, such as the Norway and Schwedler maple, have a milky sap and cannot be used for syrup production. |

| | Maple Facts |
| | While most maples have sweet sap, the sugar, also known as rock or hard maple, produces, by far, the best sap for maple syrup and sugar. | | | Maple syrup is probably the true fame maker for the maple tree. | | | When I say weather, I am not only referring to the weather during the few weeks that the trees are actually tapped and the sap is being collected, but also the weather of the previous winter, and to some extent, even the previous year. |

| | Make Your Own! |
| | Yes, if you have only a few sugar maple trees, you can make your own maple syrup and sugar. | | | Finished maple syrup will be 7 degrees F. above the temperature of boiling water at your elevation. | | | A chimney of brick or stove pipe (4 to 6 feet long) on your arch or fireplace will be helpful in keeping the smoke away from the boiling sap so that the syrup will not darken or have an off-taste from the smoke. |

| | Maple Syrup |
| | Other maples also produced the basic sap could be boiled into syrup, but, because the sugar content was much lower, they were used far less. | | | These were subsequently taken to bigger bark or log containers where fire-heated stones were dropped into them until the sap had boiled down to a dark, sweet syrup often referred to as "sweet water," especially when used in the cooking of venison. | | | Today, especially in Southern Quebec and in eastern Ontario, maple syrup and maple sugar continue to add their flavour (literally) to a distinctive Canadian farm-and-bush industry. |

| | Maple Syrup |
| | Before the settlers came to Upper Canada, the Native people were tapping maple trees to make a tasty, sweet treat called maple syrup. | | | Sometimes hot syrup was poured onto the snow which turned it into a sticky and delicious candy. | | | Since they did not have iron pots to put into the fire, Native people put hot rocks into the containers holding the maple sap. |

| | Native Americans invented the process of maple sap collection and its distillation into maple sugar and maple syrup. | | | The hardness of the wood gives it the alternative common name of Rock Maple. | | | However, sapsuckers often drill holes in the bark and cambium during this time also, feeding on insects that seek out the natural source of sugar and water, as well as feeding on the watery syrup itself. |

| | Sugar Maple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Almost all maples can be used as a sap source for maple syrup, but none of the others are as good as these two. | | | The fruit is a double samara with two winged seeds, the seeds are globose, 7-10 mm diameter, the wing 2-3 cm long. | | | The Sugar Maple is a favorite street and garden tree, because it is easy to propagate and transplant, is fairly fast-growing, and has beautiful fall color; however, its intolerance of pollution and inner city conditions make it a common victim of maple decline. |
