Sugar made from the sap of the sugar maple. It is sold loose or pressed into cakes or decorative molds.
Made by the evaporation of maple sap or maple syrup. Usually pressed into fancy shapes and sold as a candy. It is not generally used for baking or cooking.
Maple sugar is created when the sap of the sugar maple is boiled for longer than is needed to create maple syrup or maple toffee. Once almost all the water has been boiled off, all that is left is a solid sugar. This is usually sold in pressed blocks or as a translucent candy.
