New Hampshire Maple Syrup
Enjoy This All-Natural Sweetener from Mother Nature
|
The production of New Hampshire maple syrup and other maple products is a thriving tradition that signals the arrival of spring. The sweet scent of boiling maple sap escaping area sugar shacks is just one of the many reasons visitors travel from around the world to experience springtime in New Hampshire!
The maple sugaring season usually begins in late February or early March in southern New Hampshire, and a little later in the northern part of the state. In order for the sap to flow, sugarmakers need a consistent period of warm, sunny days and cold nights. In New Hampshire about 90,000 gallons of maple syrup are made each season.
Don't forget to bring plenty of New Hampshire maple products home with you. Real New Hampshire maple syrup and maple candy make great gifts for friends, family, and, of course, yourself!
Maple Syrup Production
Many maple sugarmakers now use plastic pipelines and boil down the sap in modern stainless evaporators, but some still gather and boil the old fashioned way, with horse drawn wagons and wood fired evaporators. Steam rising from sugar shacks is a welcome sign of spring to come.
