WHAT IS MAPLE SYRUP?
According to ParkersMaple.com, real maple syrup is a straight-from-nature product made with a super simple process. The sap is taken from a tapped maple tree and then boiled into a concentrated syrup. That simple!
Maple extract provides excellent flavoring in this recipe. Imitation maple flavoring will also work. It’s simply a matter of personal preference.
Maple extract is a natural ingredient taken from maple syrup.
Imitation maple flavor is manufactured by mixing natural and chemical ingredients to obtain maple flavor without getting it from a maple tree.
The natural process is more involved than the artificial process, which is why maple extract is more expensive than imitation maple flavor. Source: www.leaf-tv
