While buying maple syrup for glazing, I noticed many bottles were labelled “maple flavoured syrup”, as opposed to being “maple syrup”. What are they made up from?
Flavoured varieties are imitations, typically made up mostly of high-fructose corn syrup.
They’re cheaper to produce, but can’t beat the taste of genuine maple. The real stuff is made from the sap of the maple tree, which is then boiled down to create viscous syrup. In Canada, at least 66% of the product must be genuine sap for it to be labelled maple syrup.
