Gourmet Maple Marshmallows – A New Recipe & Guidelines
The Cornell Maple Program has been working on adapting gourmet marshmallow procedures for a recipe that uses maple as the only sweetener, and the results pack a lot of maple flavor.
Grade Blending: A New Calculator to Get Blended Syrup in Grade
The Cornell Maple Program has developed a new, user-friendly tool to calculate how much of each syrup you would need to blend. This calculator will only help sugarmakers using digital light meters that give the percentage of light transmittance (%Tc) through your syrup.
Granulated Maple Sugar Uses and Recipes
Public-facing brochure to be used to promote the use of granulated maple sugar.
Gravity Filtering: Simple tools and techniques for filtering small batches of maple syrup
To ensure that your maple syrup is the best it can be, filtering out contaminants before packing is critical. Using paper and cloth filters to do so is an acceptable and inexpensive option.
Gravity Filtering: Simple tools and techniques for filtering small batches of maple syrup
Many producers use a filter press, which uses a pressure pump to push the syrup through a series of metal plates and frames, separated by single-use pieces of filter paper which capture the particles and result in crystal-clear syrup. For smaller producers, however, using paper and cloth filters and letting gravity pull the syrup through is an acceptable and far less expensive option.
Growth and Tree Rings: Responses of Northern Forests to Drought (emphasis on Sugar Maple)
Slides from a presentation on how sugar maples adapt to drought and other effects of climate change.
Growth Rates of Sugar Maple Trees Tapped for Maple Syrup Production Using High-Yield Sap Collection Practices
The amount of sap that can be extracted annually from trees for maple syrup production using current equipment and practices is more than double the typical yields achievable when current maple industry tapping guidelines were developed. The growth rates of trees tapped with these Òhigh-yieldÓ practices at 18 sites in Vermont were measured and evaluated to determine whether they were sufficient for the replenishment of conductive wood to remain at sustainable levels when current tapping guidelines are followed.
Growth Rates of Trees Tapped With High-Yield Sap Collection Practices – Are Conservative Tapping Guidelines Sustainable?
The overall objective of this work was to determine whether existing Conservative Tapping Guidelines are appropriate and likely to result in sustainable outcomes when used with sap collection practices that result in higher sap yields.
Guidance for Maple Open House Events During COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many maple producers were forced to cancel open house events during the 2020 sugaring season for the safety of the producers and their customers. This caused a major loss in sales for many maple producers throughout the maple producing region. While COVID-19 is likely to still be a concern for the 2021 sugaring season, we now have a better understanding of the virus and protective measures to keep everyone safe while staying open for business. Those measures and best practices are detailed in this guidance.
