Maple Sugar is a delicious all-natural, unbleached, unrefined alternative to white or brown sugar. Once you start using pure maple sugar, you'll wonder why you ever used white sugar in the first place. Maple Sugar contains no additives or preservatives and has only one ingredient - Dark Amber Maple Syrup. . It is produced by boiling pure maple syrup to an extremely high temperature to concentrate the sugars. It is then removed from the heat and the stirring process begins. After much stirring, it is then placed into a sifter machine to help refine the sugar particles into smaller and more consistent granules.
