These recipe reminds me kind of the "Raod To Avonlea" 
episode "Hearts and Flowers".



"Out of Old Novia Scotia Kitchens 
by Maria Nightingale says:

It's april and again I turn a page n memory book, And walk again
the mapled hills and hear a soisy brook, IN cumberland the miracle 
of spring is mmmmmore subline Than anywhere in 
other lands- it's sugar making time.

Foundly I eye the amber glow of  candy on the snow,
 No mortal mind can e;er concoct or man's wisdoms bestow
A gift so rare to palate's bliss-God holds the recipe,
 He wrote it just inside the bark of each tall maple tree.

A couple of visiting Englishmen to the Middleton area stopped
 to watch 
a young girl as she collected the maple sap from the little 
wooden bucketts.
She was somewhat flabbergasted when one of the men remarked, 
"So this is where you Canadians get your apple juice."
