This is verified by reading the ingredients labels for maple syrup. So, when I learned about the maple syrup-making process (also known as sugaring), I was hooked.ĭeep Mountain Maple describes how sap is tapped from their Vermont maple trees and then boiled to make maple syrup. I just like the folksy feeling of things coming from nature. I’m a sucker for natural, whether or not it’s actually better according to science. After that initial taste of maple syrup, I couldn’t go back-it was too delicious, and too natural. That first time I tried real maple syrup, it was sweet, of course, but it had a lot more going on! The maple flavor is a little toasty, maybe floral, and is truly best described by its own name, “maple,” since it’s so unique.
Or, rather, maple syrup is a syrup for pancakes (and waffles), but labeling a product as “pancake syrup” means it is not made of the same stuff as its maple counterpart. Syrup was syrup-nothing more to investigate! But, if you grew up in a pancake syrup household, as I later learned I did, then you might remember that earth-shattering first taste of real maple syrup.īecause, it’s true: Pancake syrup is not the same as maple syrup.
I had no idea, however, that not all syrups were the same. Even though a Clipart plate of pancakes always includes a pat of butter, I was happy with my syrup-only stacks. I grew up in a pancakes-and-syrup household not a pancakes-and-syrup-and- butter household, nor a pancakes-and-butter one. Breakfast can spark many questions (like “Sunny side up or scrambled?”), but “What is the difference between maple syrup and pancake syrup?” may be one of the most important-and high-fructose corn syrup is only part of the answer.
