Uses of Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a natural sweetener traditionally used on pancakes, waffles, cereals, ice cream, and for glazes and special dishes such as maple-cured hams. It is also used for baking, to sweeten drinks like coffee and tea, and in preparing food dishes like baked beans. It is a natural food product with a history reaching back over the centuries. Our syrup is sodium-and cholesterol-free, produced without chemicals, and contains no additives or preservatives. Quality Because we tap trees in forests we own or manage, we can oversee the conditions of the woods and guarantee the quality of our product. All syrup is produced, packaged, and graded under the Bascom's personal supervision in accordance with US government regulations. Our processing methods are scrupulously tended to. They include modern production and packing facilities that employ up-to-date, proven technology.
