maple syrup because it is made with maple sap wich some water was remove via heat
Yes, it can be done, but remember to use a big enough pot. If you want one pint of syrup, you have to boil down about 5 gallons of sap. Think about how long your stove would take to boil 5 gallons of water down to one pint, and you've got the idea. Got a big pot? :-)
You only need maple syrup to make maple butter and maybe 1/4 teaspoon of butter or vegetable oil to help prevent the foaming. Boil up your maple syrup to 235- 236 degrees and remove the pan as soon as you hit the spot. Cold down the pan in cold water, let it still until all the heat is removed. Stir the maple syrup with a wooden spoon ( or an electric mixer ) for quite a while, it can take between 15 to 30 minutes until the maple syrup loose its glossy look. 2 cup of maple syrup makes 1 cup of maple cream.

First of all, this is not how maple syrup is made. Maple syrup is the sap of maple trees, boiled down. The recipe here is for a simple, basic syrup. Second, to understand why two cups of one substance plus one cup of a different substance does not equal three cups of combined substance, let us look at a radically different but vaguely similar example. Take a full crate of oranges. Now pour in several cups of raisins. The raisins are smaller than the oranges, and so fill the empty spaces between the oranges. Back to your question, here we have water filling the gaps between the grains of sugar. Thus when you stir in two cups of sugar into one cup of water, the substances mix together to create syrup, which is much thicker and denser than water or sugar separately. A substance is less dense when a smaller amount of it takes up more space, and is more dense when a greater amount of it takes up less space. This is why you end up with less than three cups of syrup.
It takes four trees to make one gallon of syrup; if it takes 100 to make 25, that is four trees per gallon.
I will take a nap. Please give me your cap. Maple syrup is made from maple tree sap.
Expired maple syrup can hurt you if there is mold growing on the bottom of it. But if you scrape off the mold then the chances of you getting sick are very slim. If it were me I wouldn't take a chance. I say this because one of my friends got appendicitis after eating old maple syrup. He got this because the crystal sugar in it gets stuck in your appendix and can cause major pain. So before you eat old maple syrup, please be safe and don't Kill yourself.
Take oxi-clean and mix with water in the sink. Submerge jeans and let sit for at least ten minutes. Take the back side of a sponge and scrape the maple syrup off. Source - two years of babysitting messy children. (p.s. will take some elbow grease!)
I tried it and it took over 2 weeks!
Maple syrup is a sugary, sticky, molasses-type condiment made from Maple Tree sap. The sap is collected in pails by tapping trees (drilling holes in the trunk and letting the sap "bleed" out of the tree into pails), then put together to boil creating a sticky mixture. Maple syrup doesn't just come from Canada nor is specifically made in Canada, it also comes from Maple trees that are grown in New England of the USA, places like Maine, Pennsylvania, New York State, etc.
No, it is a waste of perfectly good food. There are people on Earth that are starving and it is not funny to waste food that they could eat. Take the money you would spend on the syrup and give it to a charity like Oxfam.
