    This book was written by professional maple syrup tappers and supply company. I like that it is short enough to read quickly and get a good grasp of the process but still be very detailed. I would recommend this if you are new to making your own maple syrup and want to get started.

    If you have ever thought of harvesting your own maple sap and making your own maple syrup then you will find this book invaluable. If you are only interested in reading this book and learning more of the process from experts. Alison and Steven Anderson run and operate a commercial maple production company. The Anderson family has been in the business for three generations. "How To Make Maple Syrup" is an absolute fount of information, recipes and process do and don'ts for anyone thinking about making maple syrup from scratch.

    For those of us who have wondered and thought I can do that, keep in mnd that is not a simple process, but neither is it so daunting that you feel it is impossible. I have visited many maple processing business to take tours, and even spent some time with a friend at her family's farm collecting the sap and watching as her father and brother processed it from beginning to end. I think that is why even today I order natural maple syrup from her family. I was ruined for the store bought stuff when I was a teenager.

    Pick up a copy of "How To Make Maple Syrup" and find out if this is something you would like to try for yourself. Those beautiful trees around your home are for more than decoration.

    Instructions are too basic to be able to implement them and ambiguous in detail. Teaches the essence of syrup making but certainly not a true instructional manual.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2014
    A good starting guide for someone who would like to tap trees and make maple syrup on a personal use level. This was the best aspect of the book for me since a lot of how-to's are written on the scale of a big business production level.

    Written in a down-to-earth approach that explains the science that you need to understand in order to tap trees and the process that is involved. There is also a lot of good information on all of the tools that you will need including pros and cons of different types of materials and even tips for purchasing items.

    The end of the book delves into production on a larger scale and what you would need to do to produce maple syrup and maple syrup products to sell. I enjoyed the extra recipes that included how to make maple sugar, maple candy and maple cream, yum!

    This book was provided for free in return for an honest review.
