Have featured our pal Rob (Sugar Bob) before, but he and wife are now selling online and separating themselves from the pack with their smoked maple syrup that they have created over the last few years. These guys do their own sugaring (boiling the sap) for regular syrup too 'course, but this smoked stuff is neat - and intense. As he says "Taste a little. Very strong. Probably not for your pancakes". $12 here.
"Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind is made from real maple syrup and real hardwood smoke – nothing else added. Using food grade compressed air and venturi injection principles, we bubble low temperature maple and beech wood smoke through a finished vat of maple syrup for roughly 24 hours. Key aromatic notes and flavors are preserved while we refilter the infused syrup to deliver a clean consistent product for your cooking pleasure."
