Syrups, sauces, and confections made from birch syrup. Similar to maple syrup, birch syrup is “rich and spicy sweet, with a wonderful caramel-like flavor…produced on our homestead in Alaska’s Susitna Valley, the vast river valley of the Alaska Range. Each spring we collect the sap from the paper birch and evaporate it to syrup in much the same way pure maple syrup is produced. It takes approximately 100 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of birch syrup; maple by comparison is approximately 40:1.”
