Pure maple syrup is one of nature's sweet treats and right now is the prime time for it. In order for maple trees to produce sap, the right balance of the freeze-thaw cycle is required, and this time is usually late February to end of April. Maple syrup is only produced in Canada and the Northeast and Upper Midwest U.S. -- these areas have below freezing nights and above freezing warm days. Sugar shacks are small cabins or groups of cabins where sap collected from sugar maple trees is boiled into maple syrup. It is often found on the same territory as the sugar bush, which is intended for cultivation and production of maple syrup by way of craftsmanship. Have you ever been to a sugar shack or seen how maple syrup is produced?
