In #SeanSherman's book, #TheSiouxChef #IndigenousKitchen, he suggests using a mixture of berries - blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, elderberries -- pretty much anything you have on hand -- if one can't find chokecherries (which is what was used originally)

Good Morning #Canada
I finished my breakfast this morning only to discover that it's National Maple Syrup Day. A missed opportunity but at least I can share some important facts about Canada's sweet and sticky sauce.
- Indigenous People taught early Canadians how to harvest maple sap and boil it down into a sugary liquid.
- A maple tree can yield sap for up to 100 years, but the trees must be roughly 45 years old before it’s first tapped for syrup making.
- It takes roughly 40 gallons (150 litres) of tree sap to produce 1 gallon (3.8 litres) of syrup.
- Quebec produces 72% of the world’s maple syrup. In 2021, that equaled 133M lbs from Quebec.
- The big bottle of Costco Maple Syrup is from Quebec.
- Maple Syrup only has 1 ingredient. Sap.
- Maple Syrup has an indefinite shelf life but should be frozen if storing for more than 2 years.

And regarding the great Maple Syrup heist, this is still the best report on that famous crime.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 North America dominates with a 75.97% share, driven by strong production and rising demand for natural sweeteners.

Bad news from a climate change perspective, but also for things like maple syrup production, skiing holidays, ice wine production, tree fruit production (fewer chilling hours means varieties will need to change) and lots more...

Canada's Sweetest Heist

From 2011-2012, Quebec was the scene of a bizarre agricultural crime. Thieves stole nearly 3,000 tonnes of maple syrup, worth $18.7 million, from a warehouse holding the province's 'strategic reserve.' This global reserve, managed by Quebec's producers to stabilize market prices, was hit by a complex theft that required a massive investigation to unravel.
