Just the best maple syrup in the world, period. 1/2 tsp. and 2 cups sugar in 1 cup of boiling water makes a pint, and the 2 oz. bottle makes THREE GALLONS of syrup!

I am dead serious when I say that it makes better maple syrup than any pure maple syrup I've ever had, and it puts the bottled syrups--Aunt Jemima, Mrs. Butterworth, etc. (as well as the other maple flavorings)-- to shame. Perfect consistency, incomparable flavor. And the concentrate seems to last indefinitely on the pantry shelf with no change in flavor.

What our grocery store has available as a maple flavoring has eroded to the point that it's pathetic; and while the quality has gone down the price has gone up. (Eight dollars for a one ounce bottle of stuff with no flavor? No thank you.)

So I started looking around for an alternative and found that Mapleine is still available. I didn't know they still made this stuff. My parents used to use this in the 50s; I grew up on it.

Use the recipe on the box to make your own maple flavored syrup. The end result, you wind up with something that tastes at least as good as store bought (I'd say a lot better) and you actually know what's in it. Want your syrup a little thicker; add some corn syrup to the mix. I like a little stronger maple flavor so I use a little more flavoring than the recipe calls for.

You have to buy a box of six bottles, that's a lot, but the stuff has a long shelf life and it doesn't take up too much storage room. I can do that.

Bottom line: great stuff, I'm glad they still make it.

We have used this syrup for over 40 years. Now only is it convenient, it has a great flavour. Amazon was the only place we could find it (not even on Amazon Canada) and we were so glad to finally find the product that we bought 2 cases.

I love this product, although it is getting hard to find.

It makes great maple syrup, hot and fresh in only a few minutes (2 c. sugar, 1 c. boiling water and 1 t. Mapleine) Much better than lukewarm, stale bottled syrup.

My most recent purchase was because I have started a diet. When I get a craving for sweets, I make a cup of hot tea, one artificial sweetner and add a 1/8 t. of mapleine. It smells soooo good and tastes better. My husband usually comes over and swipes a few sips.

So, great product, but I couldn't find it locally. I had to get it from the internet. I hope they don't quit making it.

Mapleine has been used in my family to make a certain dessert since I was a child and we all love our "Magrits". It's French delicacy that we all enjoy.

I've been using this for years on my camping trips to the North country here. One of my favorite things to do out in the wilderness is cook really tasty meals over an open fire. Breakfasts being a real favorite, especially pancakes, which I don't allow myself the luxury of at home all that often. For some time I just brought along a small bottle of a commercial brand maple syrup. But then one year I forgot it and used some from a fellow backpacker that turned out to be this Mapleine mix. I was quite simply astonished at how delicious and flavorful it was. I actually thought it was something he collected and cured himself. I have been buying it ever since and mixing my own for not only my camping trips, and for use in the wilds of my own kitchen as well. Before leaving on my hikes I just mix a pint as per the easy directions, (using just a tad more flavoring as others here have mentioned for an extra flavorful syrup)and pack away some in a glass medicine bottle I have and I am on my way. Seriously, I know that the thought of using something imitation in this area can really be repugnant sounding to many folks. Especially if you're a true syrup aficionado. But honestly, if you just go by pure taste and try and forget that its a mix, this truly is delectable stuff. And its cheap this way too! You gotta buy 6 bottles at once but it will last for years. And I get 20 pints of syrup even using a little more flavoring. Truly great maple flavored syrup that is very hard to find and delicious. Highly recommended...

Due to organic and diet restriction concerns, I have always made the maple syrup for my family. When I could no longer find this product anywhere, Amazon found it for me. Great way to control the chemical, preservative and artificial ingredients. Been using for 50 years! thanks!

This is a very simple way to never run out of pancake syrup again. I'd love to use real maple syrup all the time but sometimes we are out or the prices are astronomical. I did some research and found a recipe using Mapeliene. Since purchasing a bottle I have not gone back to store bought syrup.

I have used this product for years and have trouble finding it recently. This purchase was quick, easy and the price was right. Great find, Great deal!!!

I have a very happy husband that this item popped up on Amazon. Love them. I have been using this for 52 years and then lost it. Thanks for brighting our day. Very please with shipping time and packing.
