Maple sugar is made
by continuing the boiling process until the water is removed. What
remains is sugar with texture and color similar to brown sugar, but has an
excellent light maple taste. Use it in baking, cooking or sprinkling
on pancakes, French Toast, waffles or cereals. Click here for recipes.
