Maple syrup
Boiled tree sap
Maple syrup is a sweet, viscous liquid made by boiling down the sap of maple trees, particularly sugar maples.
It's used as a topping for pancakes and waffles, as a sweetener in baking, and as a flavoring.
Production is concentrated in northeastern North America, especially Quebec and Vermont.
Grades range from light golden to dark amber, with darker syrups having stronger flavor.
