Vermont Maple syrup

[Whitefish]

I have had both Vermont and Maine Maple syrup and they both are excellent. We have some local small syrup operations here in the UP of Michigan that do a great job, maybe not the volume but very good. I guess I have never had Maple syrup that I did not like.

Maple syrup (and some other things) are a lot like sex. It's all good, just some better than others.

And have you ever really had a bad one?

Every Saturday night, I have a dish of maple walnut ice cream with maple syrup on it. Yippee, tonight's the night.

Vermont is certainly the "Big Dog" in the New England Maple Syrup production. By comparison, New Hampshire makes about 90,000 gallons per year. I know where one of those goes every spring!

That number would, no doubt, be much higher, if Bascom, in Alstead, reported the actual amount of syrup they continue to boil in their production of granulated maple sugar. The last time I recall hearing Bruce Bascom say how many taps they had out, was on the order of 70,000. A number that seemed to be a universally accepted was a quart per tap, in an average season. That's about 17,500 gallons right there.

We folks in LA...Lower Alabama, like maple syrup also. I hope I get in line in time to get a quart. Jim Garrett
