Interesting. How does the flavor compare?
If you haven't tried birch syrup, give it a go. It is way more expensive, but when you're way up in the Yukon, maple trees are harder to find.
The birch syrup is similar to a maple dark amber. It has a heavier more wild flavour. It is not uncommon for an addition of fructose or sucrose to the final product to ensure the sugar quantity is sufficient so that the syrup is not bitter. I've found it makes for a great base for bbq sauces and basting.
Awesome on salmon. I have added it to mustard base bbq sauces for ribs as well.
