Maple syrup production goes so far back in history that most historians accept the idea that Native Americans taught it to the early settlers of Canada and New England. Basically Native Americans noticed at some point that the springtime sap of sugar maple trees was slightly sweet. In order to concentrate this sweetness into a usable source of energy, they came up with the idea of collecting the sap and boiling off most of the water. A just reward for surviving the winter in the northeast!
