But what exactly qualifies something as syrup? And how is it made? Let's explore some of the various different kinds of this sweet treat.</p> <h3>Maple Syrup</h3> <p>One of the most popular types of syrup in the United States is maple. This delightful treat is made from the sap of maple trees. In the spring, when the trees begin warming up, they are tapped for sap. Syrup makers drill a hole in the trunk and insert a spile, or spout, into the hole. The sap then drips out of the tree and into buckets or tubes. The sap is collected and heated to evaporate excess water. Once enough water is evaporated, it is filtered and sealed in bottles or jars.</p> <p>Maple syrup is produced mainly in Canada, with Quebec producing about three-quarters of the world's supply. Vermont produces more maple syrup than any other state in the United States. There are various different grades of this treat, depending on the clarity, color, and flavor.</p> <h3>Pancake Syrup</h3> <p>If you don't have access to a whole bunch of maple trees to make your own maple syrup, you can make pancake syrup instead using imitation maple flavoring. Make this sauce by boiling water and sugar together, and then adding maple flavoring. It works great in a pinch if your bottle of syrup runs out right in the middle of a batch of buttermilk pancakes on Sunday morning.</p> <h3>Fruit Syrup</h3> <p>Fruit syrups are made with a few simple ingredients. Simmer part fruit, part sugar, and part water until the fruit is very soft. Then strain the fruit out and keep the liquid. You can make fruit syrup out of pretty much any fruit, and use it in many ways. Try it in yogurt, on pancakes, in hot cereal, or in seltzer water.</p> <p>Syrups tend to be rather viscous, and you want to be able to pour them easily. To accomplish this feat, you should store your syrups in narrow-necked bottles. Check out our line of syrup and sauce bottles to find the right one for your sticky sweet syrup!</p> <p> </p>
