    Weird. This is the same process to produce rubber. I wonder how they discovered this.

    The theory I heard was that indians used to put the sap on meat they were cooking. Put enough of it on there and it will become sweet. You could ask your question about most of the food we eat. Who first ate clams? GAH.

      I've actually seen it being made here in Michigan. They tap little metal tubes into Maple trees (little spigots) and hang buckets on them. This drains some of the sap from the tree into the bucket (over a period of hours/days). The workers ride around on wagons and gather the buckets and empty them into a very large container on the wagon. The wagon takes hundreds of gallons of sap to a boiler where most of the water is boiled off. It takes between 20 and 50 litres of sap to make a litre of Maple syrup. The syrup is place on pancakes and it can be made into maple syrup candy. It's about the only reason to live in Michigan.

        Some months ago my brother went to Canada and brought us some Maple syrup. It is delicious, I never tasted anything like that, and I had never heard about it before here in Brazil. But I have no idea where to put it. I mean, what can you do with it, besides eating it with a spoon?

              You mean, really disturbing, or disturbing for foreign visitors? Because here it is funny when our north hemisphere guests are offered some pretty common Brazilian things, like grilled chicken hearts ;P

                Try it. You'll like it. :-D Just be careful you don't use too much. It is very sweet and a little goes a long way.

                  The hell it is. 90 degrees F and 98% humidity isn't nice in anyone's vocabulary. September's OK, except for the fact that it means snow is only a few months away.

                                    Maybe they just tried soaking everything in lye until they found something that tasted better afterward. They stopped too soon in Scandinavia.

                                        Some months ago my brother went to Canada and brought us some Maple syrup. It is delicious, I never tasted anything like that, and I had never heard about it before here in Brazil. But I have no idea where to put it. I mean, what can you do with it, besides eating it with a spoon?

                                        Use it as a marinade for pork chops. The sugar will carmelize when you grill.

                                          Use it just before spooning.
