Maine Maple Sunday
Posted On 03/22/2009 07:23:04 by bluebird

Today is Maine Maple Sunday.  This means more than 70 maple producers, big and small from all over the state, have folks visiting who pay for an outside breakfast with pancakes and maple syrup. Some also have sausage, beans, juice, coffee etc. Some also have maple ice cream and maple butter, candies.  Most have free samples and boiling demonstrations and all want to sell their syrup.  Folks can walk around to see the buckets on the trees, watch a boiling demonstration at the sugar house and sample the syrup. Yes, you eat outside at long wooden tables and benches.  If you are lucky it may be outside in a tent or shelter but not often.  And yes, there are long lines of folks just waiting for their turn.  Don't you wish you were here in Maine this morning?

Sounds like a beautiful place.  No wonder you have so many leaves to rake!  And lots of those little helicopters in the spring?

Sounds good to me.  I remember being given a treat of Maple candy as a child and it just melted in your mouth, I can taste it now. There is nothing like the real thing is there?

That would be a totally new experience for me, I haven't even tasted maple syrup and if there are any maple trees in NZ, I don't know where they are. Have you got any photos of this event in your gallery?
