Maple Syrup vs. Pancake Syrup
Pure maple syrup is made by boiling maple sap until it contains no more than 33 percent water, leaving a 66 percent concentration of sugar. Imitation maple syrup—usually sold as pancake syrup—must be labeled as such. It's generally made mostly corn syrup with no more than 3 percent pure maple syrup. Some imitations may contain only artificial maple extract.
