Water. Water is the primary ingredient in all sap, including that of the maple. The syrup is produced by cooking, evaporating, or otherwise removing most of the water from the sap. Typically it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. Some water still remains as the solvent in the syrup; removing even more water will produce a maple candy.
