Maple Syrup in Vermont

Season 1 Episode 111 | 26m 46s

One of the oldest food traditions in America is tapping trees for sap and boiling it down for the prized maple syrup. Vermont has long been a mecca for the practice and is now innovating in incredibly fun and delicious ways. Capri learns from a family who use traditional methods to harvest sap and make syrup and gets a glimpse of how maple producers are experimenting with flavors.
