Origins of Maple Syrup
It is believed that a Native American chief who in late winter supposedly hurled his tomahawk at a tree. The tree happened to be a maple and when the tomahawk stuck in the tree, creating a wound, and sap began to flow. The clear liquid that dropped from the wound tasted somewhat sweet and was collected in a container that was placed on the ground below.The wife of the chief, believing the the liquid was water, used it to cook vension. After cooking, both the meat and the sweet liquid that remained were found to have a unique, delicious flavor. Retracing how this occurred revealed that the sweet sap from the maple tree was the only difference. The process was repeated, and refined and that is how Maple Syrup came to be.
