Something you can make with maple syrup
Origin
Maple syrup is derived from the sap of maple trees, primarily the sugar maple, red maple, and black maple. The process of making maple syrup dates back to Indigenous peoples in North America, who discovered the sweet sap of maple trees and used it as a natural sweetener. The practice was later adopted by European settlers in the 17th century. Maple syrup production is most commonly associated with regions in northeastern North America, particularly Canada and the northeastern United States. These areas have the ideal climate and species of maple trees necessary for maple syrup production.
