With an aromatic and powerful maple flavor, our wood-fired maple sugar comes from a small family sugarworks in Vermont's remote Northeast Kingdom. Use instead of white sugar in baking for incredibly flavorful cookies and cakes, sprinkle over oatmeal or yogurt, stir into coffee or tea, or use for the best baked beans ever.

Our maple sugar is made from the darkest grade of maple syrup, which is very tricky to turn into granulated sugar. Molly, our partner sugarmaker, figured out how to do it!

Maple sugar is the final product of a long series of steps that Molly and her husband Adam meticulously undertake each year, starting before the winter snow melts with tapping maple trees for clear sap, which is boiled over a wood fire for hours to turn it into sweet, dark syrup. The wood-burning stove concentrates the flavor, without adding any smokiness. The syrup is then boiled again until it crystallizes into irresistibly aromatic granulated sugar. The result is the most intensely flavorful maple sugar we’ve ever tasted.

Fun fact: it takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make 1 gallon of syrup, and a gallon of syrup makes 7 pounds of sugar.

  • "When Burlap & Barrel sources single-origin, minimally processed sugars, it’s not just sourcing them from a single country (other specialty sugars often have much murkier provenance) but from single mills, cooperatives, or farms."
