Although of the alternatives Log Cabin is my favorite. One way to make expensive real maple syrup go farther is to mix it half and half with Log Cabin.

Also, I think Ohio maple syrup is better than some of the more famous Vermont or Canadian brands, but that's probably because I get it directly from the farmers who produce it. It's fairly dark too, which tastes better to me than lighter grades.

i think it's some kind of sin to mix 100% pure maple syrup with Log Cabin corn syrup.

i think pure syrup made in New York is the best of best. my favorite is a medium amber grade.

well, the blending with log cabin is from my youth, when a gallon costs less than $10 and wasn't quite the luxury it is today.

Man, now I have a hankering for some real maple syrup. I wonder if Costco sells it...

You'll probably get a 40gallon jug of it though...
