Servings, Tasty, flavorful recipes. Treflan .the most . dependable d killer available For the devotees of maple syrup "that time" is here again, Warm, sunny days and frosty' nights, MOO ideal conditions for the sap to flow.. The first Canadians .called it "sweet water" and although the method of gathering the sap has changed, the maples still give up their sap somewhat reluctantlY, a drop at a, time. A good tree gives pp to 40 gallons of sap in one season and it takes about that much to produce one gallon of PytuP. The maple producing provinces are Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and. Nova Scotia. Quebec accounts for by far the largest production. In many of the maple growing areas plastic feeder lines have replaced the buckets and spigots. This clear plastic hose crisscrosses the maple grove and saves many hours of sap-gathering. It carries the liquid in gradually descending lines to strategically located tanks. Once the sap is gathered the boiling continues until the temperature of the syrup reaches approximately 218 degrees F. The maple syrup must not contain more than 35% water. For those who wish to know more about the various maple products and recipes for using them, write for your free copy of "Maple", publication 1096, to the Information Division, Canada De'partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. When the consumer buys maple syrup at the' retail store or a roadside stand she should look for the product marked 100% Pure Maple. The label must also show the name and address of the packer and the net weight. At the present time maple products do not need to be graded except in the province of Quebec. However, if a grade is declared it must meet the grade standards. It is usually graded by the producer, The Canada Department of Agriculture inspectors check samples at the packing plants to see that they meet the grade as claimed. The grades for maple syrup are Canada Fancy — a very light amber color with a mild characteristic flavor; Canada Light — light amber with a mild flavor; Canada Medium — medium amber with a stronger flavor, and Canada Dark — dark amber with stronger flavor sometimes with traces of fermentation. One gallon (160 fluid ounces) must have a net weight of not less than 13 pounds 2 ounces (210 ounces). Small glass or 'metal containers, including the standard 26-ounce can, are easy to handle. However,' the consumer may buy the gallon can and pour the syrup into smaller containers. She should leave a small headspace if she wishes to freeze it. When the maple sap is running "Maple Grand-peres" or "Dumplings" are served for dessert in many French Canadian homes. The home economists of the Canada Department of Agriculture share their recipe here.
