The Sugar Maple is most commonly used to make maple syrup. Other maples that can be used include the Red Maple, Silver Maple, Boxelder and Black Maple. Sugar Maple is generally preferred since its sap has a higher sugar content.
Both pure maple syrup and table syrups are predominantly sugar, however maple syrup is made simply by boiling down sap of maple trees.

History does say that the North American Indians were the first to discover "sinzibuckwud", the Algonquin word for maple syrup, meaning literally "drawn from wood." The Iroquois called March's on-going, off-again cold period the "maple moon" or "sugar month." They would make V shaped incisions in the trees, the insert reeds or concave pieces of bark to run the sap into buckets made from birch bark. In Ojibway legend, Nanabush rewarded the sugar maples for hiding Nokomis (grandmother of the fabled magician Nanabush) from a band of evil windigo spirits by giving them a sweet, strong flowing sap.
