Sticky facts about maple syrup
n Canada has just the right mix of cold spring nights and warm daytime temperatures to produce the clear-colored sap used to make maple syrup.
n The maple harvest season only lasts for a period of about 12 to 20 days, usually in early March to the end of April.
n Canada produces 80 percent of maple syrup sold in the world, 91 percent of which is produced in Quebec.
n Forty liters of maple sap make one liter of maple syrup.

100 percent pure maple syrup can also be used as a healthier alternative to sugar in a variety of desserts and baked goods, such as pies and cakes. To do so, substitute sugar for an equal amount of maple syrup. For each cup of syrup, reduce the quantity of liquid ingredients in the recipe (water, milk, juice) by about a quarter of a cup. Maple syrup may also serve as a one-to-one substitution for other liquid sweeteners, such as honey, molasses and corn syrup.
Pure maple syrup has been a part of North American life since before the continent was settled by Europeans.

Pure maple syrup's uses go beyond morning pancakes or waffles - it adds depth of flavor and complexity to everything from beverages and main dishes to salads and desserts.

Pure maple syrup is 100 percent natural and free of any coloring or additives (make sure you buy the right stuff!).

It has fewer calories than corn syrup or honey, and it does not contain any high fructose corn syrup.

It also contains vitamins and antioxidants, which can delay or prevent free radical induced diseases.

These recipes liven up classic American favorites with the subtle sweetness of maple.
