Re: Syrup
It's a milder taste than maple, but good
I had that, and I forget a few others I tried one time in school. Before that I didn't even know they used more than the old maple.

Manitoba Maple Syrup ?
I have contemplated trying my hand at making birch and maple syrup. I actually am going to gorge on pancakes soaked in maple syrup when I get off of the internet in a few minutes. Some farmers in Manitoba are going to try making maple syrop ? I would imagine then that other farmers in Saskatchewan and Alberta might want to give this a try too.

Re: Syrup
Fresh syrup is so good, and when I was a kid we would get the big containers of it some less than a month old.
If I had the trees, and climate for it I would be getting it.

Birch Syrup
I am now even more curious about birch syrup.

Maple syrup is great and all, but sometimes even the sticky stuff

Re: Syrup
Hickory syrup I had years ago, it was not real sweet, and the wood taste was more.
I thought it was pretty good at the time, and would try it again.
I never had birch syrup, it sounds a bit lighter, and sweet to my thinking.
I looked on Amazon last night, I might buy some soon to see how they both taste.

Re: Syrup
I wonder if the type of tree counts, we have water maples all over the place here, I hate the things.
The few sugar maples we have is nice trees, and the occasional mountain maple might be good.

Re: Syrup
I wouldn't try water maple, especially not ours around here.
The wood stinks, and most in the neighborhood is feeding off old septic systems, and now sewer.
They are a nuisance tree in my opinion, I hate the things.
Other maples I love even if a pain with the seeds.

Re: Syrup
Likely they just tasted it from a tree that was leaking it.

Re: Syrup
They have to be fresh off the tree and it was silver birch. I don't know if white birch tastes the same.

Re: Syrup
I use this brand, and have for years, but occasionally have something different.
When I was a kid we would get the military cans of syrup, just a plain can you punched a hole in with a can opener, very good stuff.
