Maple Syrup is the sweet sap that a Tapper collects from a Maple Tree. A Tapper fixed to a mature maple fills with a jar of syrup every nine days, with no input needed. The syrup sells well, but it is worth more as a material. Every Bee House needs a jar, the Chef's Bundle asks for one, and the Strange Note quest leads to a hungry bear in the Secret Woods. Almost the whole valley likes it as a gift, Jas, Vincent and Sebastian included. Only Maru dislikes it.
Making
The Tapper recipe comes at Foraging level 3 and needs Wood and Copper Bars. It can go on any grown Maple Tree, whether planted on the farm from a Maple Seed or growing wild, such as in Cindersap Forest. The Tapper stays on the tree and refills by itself, so a grove of tapped maples turns into a steady supply.
The Heavy Tapper halves the wait to about four days. It gives the same syrup from the same tree, just twice as often.
A Wood Chipper occasionally turns a piece of Hardwood into Maple Syrup as well, though the chance is very small.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices
Maple Syrup carries the Artisan Goods label, but the Artisan profession leaves its price alone. The Tapper profession in the Foraging skill raises it by a quarter instead.
One jar every nine days works out at only about 22g a day per Tapper. The syrup's real value lies in the crafts and quests that need it, so a few jars in storage pay off.

Uses
The Bee House recipe needs one Maple Syrup per house, along with Wood, Coal and an Iron Bar. A honey farm therefore starts with a row of tapped maples.
The Chef's Bundle on the Bulletin Board requires Maple Syrup, and finishing it rewards three Pink Cakes. The Exotic Foraging Bundle in the Crafts Room also accepts it as one option, with Autumn's Bounty as the reward.
Reading Secret Note #23 starts the Strange Note quest. Bringing one Maple Syrup to the Secret Woods between 6am and 7pm then triggers a scene with a bear. The bear rewards the gift with Bear's Knowledge, a lasting power that triples the sell price of Blackberries and Salmonberries.
Cooking Maple Syrup with Sugar and Wheat Flour makes a Maple Bar, a recipe taught by The Queen of Sauce. Some fish ponds, such as a Sturgeon pond, also ask for one or two jars before they grow.
At the Sewing Machine, Maple Syrup in the spool makes the Floppy Beanie. It also gives an orange dye in the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane and a brown dye in the Sewing Machine.
