U ByTOMHOGE AP Food and Wine Writer As spring arrives and the sap begins to rise in Americas sugar maple groves, farmers in New England, Canada and elsewhere get ready to harvest the colorless liquid that will become rich maple syrup. The price of pure syrup continues to soar, and a little more than a half pint now sells for close to $2. But despite the cost, Americans pour nearly 3 million gallons of syrup a year over pancakes, waffles and ice cream. Not to mention the creamy maple sugar used to make pudding and frosting and those little leafshaped candies. It is not known who first discovered maple syrup, but historians say early French settlers in the St. Lawrence River region learned from local Indians how to tap the trees. Soon the method spread to New England and in March entire farm families would join in reaping the harvest of the sugar bush. The men hauled sap buckets by shoulder yoke and dumped them n onto sleds. Then they hauled the cargo to sugar houses where the liquid was cooked down. In colonial days, the bulk of the syrup was turned into sugar because cane sugar was hard to come by in many areas. Collecting sap was a grueling job in the old days and many farmers finally gave it up. As a result, maple syrup became one of the few farm commodities where demand Eventually, small City Market Quality V4 pound 12C half-and-ha- during cooking or long enough before serving to allow flavors to work their mingling magic.
