During winter months in Vermont, New York, and Canada, while little else
is harvested, holes are bored into maple trees and their clear, sweet
liquid pours into ready buckets. It's called "sugar season," and it's
the beginning of what will soon make many a breakfast, entrée, and
dessert around the world deliciously smoky and sweet. In VERY MAPLE
SYRUP, Jennifer Trainer Thompson showcases this unique ingredient with
recipes like Maple Pulled Barbecued Pork, Maple Scones, and Lemon Pound
Cake with Maple Glaze.
