1119.0. "Maple Syrup" by TALLIS::ROBBINS () Wed Apr 20 1988 10:44

    My father (in Florida) has recipes which require Light amber maple
    syrup (he said he thinks it might also be called AA or AAA maple
    syrup), so he asked me to send him some (I'm in Massachusetts).
    
    The only problem is that I can't find any! I've found lots of 
    medium amber and dark amber syrup (the kind you'd use on pancakes,
    etc), but no light amber (which I believe you'd only use in recipes,
    not directly on already prepared food).
    
    Does anyone know where I might be able to get some? I'm located
    in Sudbury, Mass.
    
    Thanks very much!

        You might  be  too late this year.  Light Amber is made only from
        the first sap run of the year (I'm told), later in the season the
        makeup of the sap is  different.   The resulting color AND flavor
        are completely different.
        
        We get ours from  Tuttle's  on  Intervale  Road  in  Wilton,  New
        Hampshire.  Get  there  from 101 west out of Milford.  We've been
        going there for years.  I think it was $52 for a gallon this time
        -- I don't want you to be shocked when you get there. 
        
        We don't buy any other maple syrup.

    You might give the Wayside Country Store a call and ask if they
    carry specifically "light amber"  syrup....
    
    Another place would be Idlewilde Farms, 364 Central St., W. Acton,
    MA...263-5943...
    
    Hope this helps...

    Light amber will also be known as "Fancy" syrup.  Medium amber is
    known as "Grade A".  Grade B is good strong stuff for waffles and
    pancakes, and grade C is super strong - and dark - and often used
    as an additive in things like Aunt Jemima (sp).  Hope that helps.
