Sap is Flowing – Spring Shouldn’t Be Too Far in the Future

Vermont makes the claim for best maple syrup, but it’s made all across the northeastern states, and the Midwest. New techniques have lessened the labor, I wonder if they’ve changed the flavor.

We didn’t buy the real stuff when I was a kid. As I’ve aged, I’ve decided it’s better to eat less of the best food products than to overindulge on lesser quality kinds. So I favor dark chocolate and when I crave syrup I usually spring for a pint of the local stuff.

I’m a patron of the Vermont Country Store, but I’ve not ordered syrup from there. Had to share their lovely catalog cover though.
