Got my maple syrup for the year today.
Went to Weaver Maple Farms this morning for a pancake social. This is also where they collect and make the maple syrup. If one would go to the “Sticks” and then keep going, that is where this place was. 😆
This place is Amish owned and operated. The two large evaporators they have are wood fired.
The quart is Grade A Dark. I was informed it was evaporated at a higher temperature for a little longer than normal. It has some caramel undertones and in my opinion it tastes a bit nutty. I plan on using this to make Old Fashioneds.
The half gallon is Grade A Amber. This is what was being produced today when we were there. It came strait out of the evaporator and the bottle was still warm when I bought it. This is what they were serving with the pancakes. So Delicious. Having syrup straight from the evaporator on pancakes is next level Awesomeness. I plan on using this for pancakes, waffles and French toast throughout the year. Probably should have gotten two.
The gallon is Grade A Golden. They had samples of this also. This is not as rich tasting as the Amber but is was still quite tasty. It was a bit cheaper than Amber. I plan on using this gallon for cooking. Probably half of it will go to the many batches of Maple Bacon Onion Bourbon Jam I’ll make this year.
