Native Americans used to take rocks that had been heated in the fire and drop 'em into a carved-out wooden bowls filled with sap from the Maple tree. The rocks were hot enough to make the sap boil. As you might imagine, this was a slow process but so worth it! Maple Sugarin' is still a lengthy process even though there are more "modern" ways of collecting and boiling sap into syrup, cream and candy. Come around the end of February you're still likely to see traditional sap buckets hanging off the trunks of sturdy Sugar Maples all across Vermont. Known as Vermont's "liquid gold", Pure Vermont Maple Syrup is the best syrup you'll find anywhere.

We've been told that squirrels "sugar" too. They pick limbs on maple trees and cut the bark with their teeth. The sap oozes out and sublimates in the cold creating sugar on the branches. The squirrel comes back and eats it and gets consolidated energy.
