Maple Syrup is truly Canadian!


Maple syrup is a staple in most Canadian kitchens. My first memory of tasting maple syrup was at the home of my grandparents in Dokis Bay. Making maple syrup in the springtime provided a winter supply of syrup for baking, candymaking as well as an alternative to sugar. This was very important in the early days of Canadian homelife. Today, we continue to enjoy maple syrup on our pancakes and waffles. Maple syrup also adds a special touch to many other recipes like the one I am featuring today - Maple Pecan Pie!
