Paul Mierop was nice enough to purchase a banner ad and I wanted to get this on right away, and not make him wait for the forum refresh.

I've tried Paul's Maple Syrup, and it's great. The real deal, 100% maple syrup. And how can you beat that label? So please support Paul, its ads like his that keep this web site going.

Maple Syrup Trivia:

Forty years are required to grow a maple tree large enough to tap for maple sap. A tree ten inches in diameter is considered minimum tappable size for one tap. For each additional six inches in diameter, another tap may be added. It takes four to five
taps to produce enough maple sap for one gallon of syrup. To make really good quality syrup, the sap must be boiled down as soon as possible after it is drawn from the tree. During a good "run," it is common for sugar makers to be up all night boiling as they work to reduce the sap, which is about 2-3 percent sugar, to syrup which is 88-89 percent sugar. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup.
