Maple Syrup

Wisconsin is a large producer of pure maple syrup. Very little has changed in the procedure since the days when pioneers relied on maple syrup as a basic sweetener. Maple syrup can often replace brown sugar in cooking, enhancing even the most common of recipes with its distinctive flavor and nutritional merits. In the the pearly days, maple syrup and maple sugar were often the only sweeteners available to the pioneers.
