   Welcome to my blog about maple syrup! Maple syrup is a syrup produced by the sap of different kinds of maple trees, especially the sugar maple. Maple syrup is used as a sweetener. Many people use it while baking instead of sugar or other sweeteners, some use it in tea instead of honey, and it is often used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and other breakfast foods. Maple syrup is often recognised as a Canadian product, as 75% of all Maple Syrup production occurs in Canada. However, it originated in the Northeast of North America and the Great lakes region, by both the Americans and Canadians. It's thought to have been started being made in the 1860's.
