Heres a Bit of History
The warm 40 degree days of spring and the freezing nights herald the maple syrup season in the northeast United States & southeast Canada, the only areas of the world having maple trees with sufficient sugar in their sap to produce syrup economically.
Early Explorers in America discovered the Indians had invented the art of sugar making by collecting sap & boiling water out of it to produce both syrup & sugar. Tomahawks were used to open trees; twigs were placed in the cracks to direct the sap into baskets collecting the liquid. Later, quills were inserted into small cracks, but the big advance came with actually drilling a hole in the tree, pounding in a wooden spout and hanging a wooden bucket on it. The Indians would collect the sap and pour it into hollowed out logs and then let it freeze overnight before it was boiled in a large kettle to remove water, leaving only thick syrup or sugar behind.
