Maple Syrup and Maple Candy From our Trees to your Table
The Meredith Trading Post offers a full line of delicious Maple Products
including Maple Syrup and Maple Sugar Candy. The taste of Pure NH Maple Syrup on
your pancakes in the morning evokes memories of childhood, before all the new
artificially flavored pancake syrups were concocted. Pure NH Maple Syrup and
Maple Candies also make excellent gifts for children of all ages.
Just a Few Facts About Maple Syrup, A New Hampshire Tradition:
- It takes 40 gallons of sugar maple sap to make one gallon
of pure NH Maple Syrup.
- It takes freezing cold nights and warm sunny days with
temperatures in the 40's and up before the maple sap will run.
- It takes approximately 40 years for a sugar maple tree to
reach tapping size. The sugar maples need to be tapped, the lines run, the
buckets hung, the sap gathered daily, the wood cut, the fires watched, the
sap boiled down to syrup, and the maple syrup packaged and labeled before it
reaches your table.
- Our pure NH Maple Syrup is 100% FAT FREE.
- U.S. Grade A Medium Amber Maple Syrup has a slightly darker amber color with a gentle but more
pronounced maple flavor. This syrup is desirable for pancakes, waffles, French
toast, and cereal and is a great all-purpose syrup.
- New Hampshire has a mandatory maple syrup grading law. Pure NH syrup must
adhere to some of the strictest standards for density, clarity, color, and
flavor. Maple inspectors enforce these laws and assist producers in maintaining
high standards and superior quality in their maple products.
- The harvest season ends with the coming of spring's warm
nights and the first stages of bud development of the trees.
- Maple syrup is boiled even further to produce maple cream
(call for availability) sugar and candy.
- It takes one gallon of syrup to produce eight pounds of
candy or sugar.
- A gallon of pure maple syrup weighs 11 pounds.
- The sugar content of sap averages 2.5 percent, while the
sugar content of syrup is 66.9 percent
