Roses are Red,
Violets are Purple,
Sugar is Sweet,
And so’s Maple Surple....................
I’m not a cook so it’s bacon and Eggos.

In the late 60’s a friend had a teepee near White River Junction, Vt. He used to give presents of AA Light Fancy syrup at Christmas. In warmer seasons we used to partake
in a few headshrinkers (half grapefruit juice, half vodka) and visit his dairy farmer neighbor’s pasture for cow riding. Farmer’s name was...Donald.
My family loves maple syrup - but ONLY the real stuff, not the fake “maple flavored corn syrup.”
But, if you want it real, you gotta pay for it and around here it is very expensive - we are a long way from maple syrup country.
I buy Michigan since I’m there a lot
Cheaper and good enough
Amber or dark amber
Fancy is for salad dressing
It’s kind of odd to have this in December. I would think March or April would be more appropriate. But the marketing folks probably want to clear the shelves to make room for the next crop coming in the spring!
Buddy from the movie, “Elf,” is celebrating!

As usual, WISCONSIN ROCKS! If you need Maple Syrup, Taters, Cranberries, CHEESE or any other life-sustaining foodstuffs - We Have It!
Beau taps our house yard Maple trees and makes (way too much) syrup every season. But friends and family love it. He’s gotten very good at it, too.
Right now we’re chopping and stacking dry wood before we get the first big snowfall, ‘cuz you know he’ll be ‘sugaring’ when we get those first warm days, but still freezing nights, come March. :)
