Maple syrup

History
Indians
pre-contact indigenous peoples who live in northeastern North America were the first known for producing maple syrup and maple sugar. According to oral tradition and archaeological evidence, the sap is processed for content sugar, long before the arrival of Europeans in the region.
Algonquin recognized SAP as a source of energy and nutrition. At the beginning of the period of thaw using stone tools to make V-shaped incisions in trees, then insert reeds or concave pieces of bark to run the sap in buckets, which often are made of birch bark. Maple sap, which are rich in sugar and still taste sweet, concentrated either by dropping hot stones into cubes cooking, or leave them exposed to cold temperatures at night, and the removal of the ice formed on top.
First United Nations and Native Americans have also used pots mud to boil the sap. Heat the fire only protected by a roof of tree branches.
Colonial to modern times
An illustration of the 19th century "Among the Indians making sugar in the North" (note the use of metal containers, introduced after European contact)
In the first stages of European settlement in the north-eastern North America, indigenous peoples have demonstrated how settlers arriving to take advantage of (in) the trunks of certain types of maple end-of-winter/early-spring melting, harvest the sap and boil some water to evaporate, concentrating the sugar content in the liquid remaining and alter the taste a little heat caramelize some sugar. This activity is rapidly becoming an integral part of colonial life. Long before the early 1700s, European settlers and fur traders and Native Americans have participated actively in the industry. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the sap is processed an important source of sugar concentrated liquid and crystalline solid. The European review of treatment methods somewhat, with access to improved technologies, particularly in metallurgy, tool making and use of domestic animals. In general, maple sugar parties began operations in early snowmelt in the forest regions that may contain a large enough number of maples, concentrated within a reasonable range transport to justify the effort. First holes in the trunks of maples, usually over a tree house big hole inserted (usually carved) peaks in the holes, then hung up a wooden bucket at the end of each spout projection collect the sap. The cubes are often made by reducing the corporate network of a truncated cylindrical segments and then proceed to break large base of each segment from one end the cylinder, creating a transparent waterproof container. Sap buckets filling slowly, drop by drop. Periodically, members of the party regained the sap that had accumulated. It was then transferred to a further exploitation of vessels (barrels, large pots, or hollow logs of wood) are often mounted on sleds or wagons pulled by draft animals or has been done in bins or containers of the same practice. Buckets of sap collection were returned to the nozzles mounted on trees, and process is repeated as many times as the sap flow remained "soft." The particular time, the late winter and early spring "thaw" period were and still are essential in determining the length of the cabin "Sugar" season. As the climate continues to warm, the normal process of maple principles Biological spring sap may alter the flavor, making it unpleasant. Depending on conditions, a little sugar could take several days to several weeks devoted these activities. Boiling process has been a long time. The harvest of sap was transported to the party's base camp, where he drained into large (almost always) containers metal and boil to desired consistency. The sap is usually a collection center or through an open fire or in a shelter built for this purpose. For protected from the weather of spring, parts of sugar has built a small camp. Often, entire families moved into the forest and collect and boil SAP production Once the maple syrup and maple sugar.
In the 1850s, the sugar shack "or" sugar shack (not of the hut or building used for boiling the sap) arrived as we know it today. The settlers had perfected the methods of giving sap. The sap is transported in large barrels drawn by horses or oxen and brought to the sugar shack in the transformation. At that time, the sugar maple sugar was the only available in other types of sugar were hard to find and expensive, and Sugar has been called "country." Production methods have been streamlined since colonial times, remain basically the same. Sap must first be collected and boiled down slowly to obtain pure maple syrup, without chemicals or preservatives.
Earlier Maple syrup was obtained by boiling about forty gallons (160 liters) of SAP in an open fire in one gallon (4 L) of syrup was obtained.
This process has changed little during the first two hundred years of making maple syrup registered. At the time of the Civil War, the authorities have begun to use syrup a large flat plate, it was more efficient to boil a heavy iron pot rounded leaves that much of the last blade of hot air.
Virtually all manufacturers of syrup in the past have been independent producers who have made milk and sugar syrup for their own use and to obtain additional income. The process has continued to evolve due to the innovations developed in their work. In 1864, a loan in Canada a few design ideas from the evaporator and sorghum were asked a number of confusions in the pan to channel the boiling sap. In 1872, a developed country Vermonter an evaporator with two pans and a metal arch or a house that has reduced greatly boiling time. Seventeen years later, in 1889, another Canadian bent the tin that formed the bottom of a pot in a series of flues, which increased the hot surface of the pan and boil again decreased with time.
The technology has remained unchanged until 1960's, when he was no longer a company independent, with large families as farm laborers. Due to the production of honey was so labor-intensive, farmers could not afford to hire to the large crew that had to gather all the buckets and carry the sap evaporator house. During the energy crisis of the 1970s, the authorities have responded syrup with a new wave of technological innovation. Pipes, who had experienced since the beginning of the century have been developed and the sap came directly from the tree evaporator house. The vacuum pumps have been added to piping systems. Preheat have been developed to recycle waste heat steam. Machines reverse osmosis have been developed to take some water from the sap before it is boiled. Several producers even obtained surplus desalinization machines from the U.S. Navy Together and used them to drink water from the sap before boiling.
Technological advances continue. The improvement of the pipes, the new filtering technologies, "Supercharged" pre-heaters, and storage vessels have been developed more. Research continues on pest control and improved management of forests. In 2009, University of Vermont has revealed a new type of valve that prevents backflow from the sap of the tree, which reduces bacterial contamination and prevent the tree trying to repair the hole.
Production
the maple syrup production is centered in northeastern North America, and is often associated with Quebec in Canada, but given the right weather conditions can be made wherever maple trees grow. Usually, the maple species used are sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and black maple (Acer nigrum), because of high sugar content in the sap of two percent. A farm producing maple syrup is called a sugar bush "or" sugarwoods. "Sap is often cooked in a sugar shack" (also known as a shack sugar shack sugar), a building that has grates at the top to evacuate the steam from the cooking sap.
Canada is more than 80 percent of maple syrup in the world, producing about 26.5 million liters in 2005. The vast majority of this comes from Quebec: the province is by far the largest producer with about 75 percent of world production (24.66 million liters in 2005). Production in Quebec is controlled by a system of supply management, with farmers receiving the allocation of quotas to producers acricoles Federation of Services exportation. The province also has its own "strategic reserve" of maple syrup, which reached its climax in 2004, when amounts to 60 million pounds or 17.03 million liters.
The provinces of Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island Island and British Columbia produce small quantities. The province of Manitoba maple syrup product with the Manitoba maple sap (Acer negundo, also known as "box more.") Manitoba maple syrup tastes slightly different from the sugar maple syrup because it contains less sugar and sap flows more slowly, the performance of the Manitoba maple is generally less than half that of a similar size maple.
Vermont is the largest producer in the United States, with 920,000 gallons (3.5 million L) in 2009, followed by Maine 395 000 gallons (1,500,000 L) and New York with 362 000 U.S. gallons (1.37 million liters). Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut all produced marketable quantities maple syrup U.S. gallons less than 120 miles (450,000 l) each in 2009.
Traditional touch
Two taps in a maple tree, use a plastic tube collect the sap.
A small-scale evaporation pan used in Ohio.
A sugar shack where sap is boiled maple syrup.
Traditionally, maple syrup was collected by the touch of a maple tree through the bark and the wood and the sap drip into a bucket, which requires the daily collection, methods are less labor intensive such as the use of continuous casing steel, as they have replaced everything but the production of handicrafts.
Production is concentrated in February, March and April, according to local climatic conditions. nights and days are warm freezing necessary to induce sap flow. The temperature change from top to bottom makes the freezing water absorption and soil above freezing due to pressure to develop strains that with gravity, makes the sap flows from the taps or other wounds on the trunk or branches. To collect the sap, holes are drilled into the maple and tubes (valves, nozzles, lanterns) are inserted. Savia through the spouts into buckets or plastic tubing. The modern use of plastic tubes with a partial vacuum has enabled increased production. A hole should be drilled at a new location each year, the old hole to produce sap for only one season due to the natural healing process of the tree, called off the wall. Maple sap is obtained from the buckets and taken to the sugar shack, and if the plastic tubes and pipes are used, and the pipes are ready so that the sap flows by gravity to the sugar shack, or if not possible in reservoirs whose sap is pumped or transported by truck to the sugar shack.
It takes about 40 liters (10 gallons) of sap are reduced to one liter (1 gallon) of syrup. A mature sugar maple produces about 40 gallons of sap during the four – six-week harvest. The trees are not harvested until they have a diameter of 25 cm (10 inches) at breast height and the tree is at least 40 years. If the tree is over 45 inches (18 inches) that can be operated twice on opposite sides. It is recommended that the tap hole drilled with a width of 8 mm (in) and a depth of 25-40 mm (1.0 to 1.6 inches). During cooking, the sap is fed automatically by pipeline to a storage tank for a long, narrow ridges called the evaporator pan. The evaporator be divided into two sections, the first pot and container. As the sap boils, water evaporates, it becomes denser and sweeter. As the density of the sap rises, makes its way back the evaporator rear of the machine before the evaporator. The syrup is boiled until it reaches the correct density of maple syrup, 1333 kg/m3. [Edit] The density of sugar good for at least 66% is achieved when the temperature reaches temperature of 219 sap F (104 C). The density is tested with a hydrometer. If the density is very low syrup is not sweet enough syrup and plunder. If the density is too high, the syrup will crystallize in bottles. When the syrup has reached the appropriate density, that is extracted, filtered and bottled while hot.
Since the 1970s, some maple syrup producers started using reverse osmosis remove water from sap before further reduced to syrup. The use of reverse osmosis allows approximately 75-80% of water that is removed from the sap before boiling, reduce consumption energy and exposure of honey to high temperatures. Pollution microbial degradation of the membranes must be controlled.
Maple syrup is sometimes reduced further to produce maple sugar hard candy usually sold in pressed blocks, and maple taffy. Intermediate levels of boiling can also be used to create various intermediate products, including maple cream (less hard and granular than maple sugar) and maple butter (cream, with a little more consistency thinner than peanut butter). During the production season in New England, a traditional delicacy known as "sugar snow" is often prepared by superheated drizzle maple syrup on snow or shaved ice, resulting in making a good jerk-like.
Since the mid-80s, northern communities Quebec began to open the cabin "with sugar or sugar shacks to the public. These sugar shacks are usually in large farms and maple are often been built exclusively for tourism. These cabins sugar maple syrup directly serve the public and restaurants are often inspired sitting in Maple syrup meals and snacks.
Degrees
Canada, United States, and classification of Vermont
U.S. grades of syrup. From left to right: Vermont Fancy Grade A half amber, dark amber Grade A, Grade B
In Canada, there are three grades containing several color classes, ranging from Canada # 1, including Extra Light (known sometimes referred to as AA), Light (A) and medium (B) by # 2, Amber (C), and finally # 3 Dark (D). A typical year compound return of approximately 2530% of each amber # 1, 10% and 2% Dark. Number two syrups are used for cooking quality and taste, but they are also very popular in pancakes and waffles. In addition, Canada # 2 amber may be labeled Ontario Amber for farm sales in that province alone. Number 3 of syrup is heavy, and intended to be used in commercial flavorings. [Citation required]
U.S. using the classification rules a little different. Maple syrup is divided into two main categories: Class A and Class B. Grade A is subdivided into three levels are: Amber (sometimes known as Fancy), Amber medium and dark amber. Grade B is darker than Grade A Dark Amber. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture and markets food through a system of classification of similar color and taste. The degree of Vermont Fancy is similar in color and taste for U.S. Grade A Light (Fancy). The classification system is different from the Vermont system of the United States to maintain a level slightly higher density product. Vermont Maple boil a little more for a thicker, more product dense. The relationship between the volume of sap to a volume of finished syrup is higher in the Vermont system. Maple syrup is sold in liquid volume, not weight. Vermont ranked product has a half percent of a material stronger and less water in its composition. A non-table grade syrup called commercial or grade C, also occurs. Very dark, with a strong flavor. Maple syrup business is generally used as a flavoring in other products.
The categories correspond roughly to the station several times in syrups that are produced. Canada # 1 Extra Light U.S. and Grade A yellow light grades are early season, while Canada # 2 and # 3 and U.S. U.S. Grade B notes End of the season. Usually No. 1 Extra Light and a level (especially Class A yellow light) has a milder climate, more delicate flavor that # 3 or Grade B, which is very dark with a robust flavor. The darker grades of syrup are primarily used for cooking.
Off flavors
Sometimes flavors found in the maple syrup. Although this is more common toward the end of the season in the production of commercial quality, can also be submitted at the beginning of the season during production in Canada # 1 grade or U.S. Grade A Light. Identification of flavor in the box class is a source to cease production and disposal of the product or improving the quality of the commercial product, so the aftertaste is light. Outside the flavors are as follows: metabolism of metabolic changes in the tree when it spring and have a forest environment, popcorn, or sometimes peanut butter flavor-like; friend, referring to the swelling of new shoots and its impact on the chocolate flavor and a bitter or burning taste and close, an aftertaste caused by the fermentation of honey or fruity aroma, often accompanied by foam surface. Furthermore, if the trees are stressed or fighting diseases or insects (eg, gypsy moth), produce a folic acid as cause a bad taste. After an ice storm, trees can also produce the same acid.

Maple syrup and its artificial imitations are filled with choice of pancakes, waffles, French toast in North America. Maple syrup can also be used for a variety of uses, including: biscuits, chicken, fresh donuts, fried dough, fritters, ice cream, hot cereal and fresh fruit (especially grapefruit). It is also used as a sweetener for applesauce, baked beans, candied sweet potatoes, winter squash, cakes, pies, breads, chocolate and other candy, milkshakes, tea, coffee and punch.
Syrup maple and sugar maple were used during the American Civil War and abolitionists in the years before the war because sugar cane molasses and more has been produced by Southern slaves. During food rationing in the Second World War, people in the Northeast are encouraged to expand their sugar rations by sweetening foods with maple syrup and maple sugar, and recipe books were printed to help housewives use this alternative source.
In Quebec, New Brunswick, eastern Ontario and New England, the process became part of culture. A tradition that goes into the homes of sugar (sugar shacks) in early spring by meals served with maple syrup. An offer is typical of pancakes, baked beans and sausages, generally followed by a sugar on snow (tires snow in Quebec), or sometimes by Arce taffee English Canada. Sugar snow is thick hot syrup poured in fresh snow then eaten by bats As it cools quickly. This thick maple syrup candy base is sometimes served with yeast raised donuts, fatty dill pickles, and coffee.
Due the dominance of sugar maple in the south-eastern Canada (where the Europeans settled in what became Canada), and its blade is become the symbol of the country, and is represented on its flag. Several U.S. states, including New York and Vermont maple sugar your state. A scene from the sap collection is represented in the fourth state of Vermont, and boxes of Vermont Maple Sugar Manufacturers Association ', an NGO that works to protect the integrity agriculture and pure Vermont maple products, and promote its historical importance to the culture of Vermont.
Imitation maple syrup
In the U.S., "Maple syrup" should be made entirely of maple sap quantities (small substances such as salt can be added). "For the taste of maple" maple syrups containing, but also other (cheaper) ingredients. "Pancake" syrup, waffle syrup, "table syrup" syrup and even false name tags, which are less expensive than maple syrup. In these syrups, the main ingredient is often corn syrup, high fructose, with sotolon taste, having no actual content of maple. They are usually thickened beyond the viscosity of maple syrup. U.S. law prohibit the labeling of these products have "maple" in their names.
The state of fenugreek, a spice, may be willing to have a taste of maple syrup-like, and is used to make a very strong aroma business that is similar to maple syrup, but much cheaper; Mapleine is an example. [Edit] The smell of fenugreek treatment plant Frutarom produces a smell maple syrup as from time to time to cover New York from 2005, were identified in 2009 as coming from a Hudson County Frutarom plant.
Qubcois sometimes refer to imitation maple syrup, syrup stick (stick), a joke referring to the honey has been made taking advantage of telephone poles.
In 1905, Foods Inc. has created the acorn Crescent flavoring called Mapleine. Rescued by McCormick spices, still distributes "Mapleine Crescent" series of limited production.
In Australia and South Africa, imitation maple syrup is sold as "maple syrup flavor. [Edit]
Identification maples
Maples most commonly used for maple sap collection are sugar, black maple, red maple and silver maple. These maples are common in eastern Canada and northeastern United States. Maple sugar and black maple to provide the highest sugar content and therefore ideal for a yield of maple syrup better and reduce the boiling time. Faster boiling is often a better quality of syrup. The sugar maple bark is dark gray to brown and developed vertical grooves and ridges, often interrupted by patches of bark. The blade is rounded at the base, extending generally 5-lobed without fine teeth (compared to red and silver maples). The color is bright green with more green paler below. Maple sugar fruit seeds joined in a straight line, while the wings are separated by about 60 degrees. Each winged seed is about 1 inch (25 mm) long and ripen in the fall.

West Vancouver: A great place to live

West Vancouver is a wonderful community that the world saw when they were part of the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010. The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Vancouver as the very best place to live! Vancouver scored 98 out of 100, with the second city site (Vienna) 97.9 rating. Furthermore, according to the overall quality of the classification of urban life, the residents of Vancouver have the best quality of life across Canada or the United States. West Vancouver is safe, beautiful, have a nice time and a wonderful community. Slagin Parakatil, senior researcher on the project of the Classification of the city, said: "The Personal safety within Canadian cities among the highest in the region. This is due to a relatively low crime rates and a stable political environment. "
