maple sap is harvested at the beginning of Spring, the emblematic activity of
Quebec. When boiled the sap turns to syrup, which crystallizes into maple
sugar crystals..

Where
does Trapper mix come from?
The amazing story
behind the Trapper mix
This mix was originally an
accident! A trapper from Northern Canada spilt his salt cellar into his pot
of maple syrup. As he didn’t want to waste his precious sugar, he used it to
season his dried bison meat. That’s how this typical Quebec delight was
created.
What is so characteristic about
the Trapper mix is its maple sugar crystals obtained by evaporating maple
syrup. Maple syrup is as essential to the Quebec people as the baguette is to
the French. The production process is long and difficult: it takes 40 litres
of sap to obtain 1 litre of syrup, and 100 litres de sap for 1 kg of sugar.
Quebecois cuisine pays
tribute to maple syrup
Maple syrup and
maple crystals are used in many Quebecois dishes. There are two high points
in the year in Quebec: year-end festivities and the Sugar shack season in
Spring. Sugar shacks are found in maple groves and are an ode to the
traditional cuisine of this region of Canada. Traditional Quebec cuisine often
includes hearty winter dishes and adds maple syrup to fish, game and of
course to desserts. The most famous dishes are slow cooked beans with pork,
ham with maple syrup or the traditional “oreilles de crisses” crispy
pork rinds.
