A friend of ours produces maple syrup, and we recently bought a 500-ml bottle from him. His is the most delicate, wonderful syrup I've ever tasted. It's almost like butterscotch. He doesn't blend his like many others do, so it's pure and light and amazing.
Here's the thing -- he told us that next spring he won't be tapping his trees, in order to give them some time to recover from this year's drought. If other producers are taking the same approach, there may be a shortage of syrup. We immediately ordered four more bottles from him.
Nevermind the freeze-dried turkey cubes and stroganoff in mylar pouches, the Crisco candles, and the bottled peaches. Stock up on syrup! :)
