I think ... but I have only seen it at the bio stores- well, Bio Coop, to be exact... <br />Walt.. does the filling get as solid with maple syrup as with the corn syrup... as corn syrup is very thick and maple syrup, though thick, is runny.. <br />Just curious.. Your pies are TOOOO DIEEE FORRR!<br />Yummmm!islandgirl4ever2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11113491173234673894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-10632950775336833652010-03-17T07:35:44.938+01:002010-03-17T07:35:44.938+01:00will, it's really cool that you make your own....will, it's really cool that you make your own.

As you're using the maple syrup for the pie, it is probably very close to Fritz's maple syrup pie which is supposed to have pecans, although we often substitute walnuts.<br /><br />With the serious storms we've had here lately, it's been a very bad sugaring season. We've gotten maybe 17 gallons of sap total so far and the temperatures look like they're going to shut down any hope of getting more. That's enough sap for MAYBE a quart and a half. Last year we made three gallons and the year before, six. Very disappointing!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-71777882400747627752010-03-16T08:46:43.083+01:002010-03-16T08:46:43.083+01:00jean, that's probably true, although I've ...jean, that's probably true, although I've never had golden syrup.
