Why measuring maple syrup by cup goes wrong
Maple syrup is roughly 67 percent sugar, with the rest water and trace minerals. A cup weighs about 322 grams. Real maple syrup behaves like honey in baking — more humectant moisture, faster browning — and is not a clean swap for granulated sugar.
Practical tips for working with maple syrup
Grade A dark (formerly Grade B) is the right pick for baking and recipes that want a pronounced maple flavor. Grade A amber is milder, better on pancakes than in a cake. Once opened, real maple syrup belongs in the refrigerator; it ferments and grows mold at room temperature within a few weeks.
Note from this ingredient's record: Grade A dark is the workhorse for baking — more flavor than amber, less assertive than Grade B. Refrigerate after opening.
