Maple Syrup

 
Grades of Maple Syrup, based on USDA standards.
All grades have the same consistency.
They differ slightly in color and flavor.
Which grade to use is a matter of personal preference, but all taste great!

• Light Amber - has a milder, maple taste and is made early in the season when the weather is cold and brisk. This is considered best for fine maple candy.
  

• Medium Amber - is also a fine table syrup. A little more maple flavor and asked for by a majority of people. This is made after the weather begins to warm, about mid-season.
  

• Dark Amber - although slightly darker in color with a stronger maple flavor, it is fast becoming a favored table syrup.
  

• Grade B - Used mostly for cooking
  

• Grade C - Commercial use only
