National Maple Syrup Day When : Always December 17 National Maple
Syrup Day provides us with the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate
this delicious American treat. This sweet and unique flavor
originated in America. Native American Indians were the first to
harvest and boil the sap of the maple tree into a thick syrup.
Watching or participating in a maple sap harvest, or demonstration,
is a fun late winter event. They are held in February-March, when
the sap is flowing. It is educational for the kids, too. During
field demonstrations, some of the sap is boiled down into syrup.
Best of all, free samples are often giving, poured over a pancake
or vanilla ice cream. Did you know? Sap of the maple tree, the same
sap used to make maple syrup, makes a refreshing drink. Just put it
in the refrigerator and pour a drink whenever you want. Or, have a
drink as you harvest the sap from the tree! How do you participate
in National Maple Syrup Day? Pour real maple syrup onto your
pancakes or waffles. Or, for an evening treat, pour warm maple
syrup onto vanilla ice cream. Please note, make sure you are using
maple syrup, not pancake syrup. Unless the ingredients state
otherwise, pancake syrup no longer contains maple syrup.(a surprise
to many)
