Q: who first knew to heat the sap from the maple trees,to make syrup??.Why and how did this come about,
A: Native Americans showed the settlers how to make maple syrup, the settlers didn't discover it for themselves. It's too bad we don't know the details but there are many "stories" about how maple syrup was discovered but no one knows for sure. It's always interesting to wonder just how people are able to discover things like this. I guess given enough time and a curious mind, humans are able to do lots of wonderful things. Thanks for asking.
