Sugaring season runs from February until around early April, though maple syrup isn't usually thought of as a spring product. During this period, sugar makers in the Northeast, which includes Canada, New York and Vermont, make enough maple syrup for the entire year. The amber-colored sweetener is made from sugar maple trees and can be used in marinades, baked goods, cocktails and, of course, pancakes.
Amelia Tarpey is a Program and Publicity Manger for GrowNYC Greenmarkets. She said right now local maple syrup is going for about $12 to $20 for 8 ounces.
