I was happy when my nephew picked up a bottle of maple syrup for me when I was visiting with them in the US. His wife had prepared some pancakes. I have always wanted to taste this combination and was happy I got that opportunity.
For some this must be a staple diet.
I am trying to get this syrup online. Which is the best brand?

@AnjaP Nothing like going for the real thing - just to have it right here on my table. I will do a search. Thanks.

@marlina Considering that the maple leaf is seen on the Canadian Flag probably one could find the real stuff there - will search. Thanks.

It is not so much the brand as the grade. The lighter syrup is preferred so use that as a guide. Golden is a good color darker is not so good.

Isn't that funny... I preferred the really dark. I guess it was just what I grew up with. :)

@Hate2Iron The main thing is that it should be pure and how to judge that is the question.

I grew up with the real thing. Dad would tap the trees on our property and then boil it down until it was a deep smoky brown. Little did I know just how good I had it back then. I think that the wood smoke helped with the flavor because I have never tasted anything like it. Just plain awesome!!

When I was spending a few days with my nephew in Colorado, we had gone up to the mountains and there he picked that syrup - probably the best. This was a few years ago. What you tasted as a child may not available any more.

@Hate2Iron Does one have the heat the syrup? Strange your kids do not like it.

I was at a restaurant a week or so ago and they delivered the bottles of maple syrup heated to the table. I don't think that I could ever tire of pancakes and syrup and yet my kids can't stand it.

Hmm some connoisseurs here on Maple Syrup. I guess we could learn a thing or two about it.
