It is true that many products can be made from the sap of maple trees. If you boil out the water from the sap, you have produced pure maple syrup. You can also turn maple syrup to a candy by adding butter. Or you can also make maple taffy and maple sugar. When you boil the sap and you reached a certain temperature, you will produce syrup. Boil it a bit more past the syrup and you will have the taffy. And boiling past the male taffy will give you maple sugar.

They said that before, Native Americans preferred maple sugar because it was easier to transport that syrup. Now, syrup is more popular but a lot of people also use maple sugar as a substitute for can sugar. This sugar from maple syrup is twice as sweet as your regular sugar.

It is more difficult to produce sugar from the sap especially if you do not have enough maple cooking skills because it has a tendency to get burned. If you do not know the right timing, you will end up having to scrape off thick, black, rock hard stuff from your pan.
