Propane-fired Maple Syrup Available
December 23, 2022 - Trumansburg, New York. Bill Overbaugh of Trumansburg, New York has announced the availability of propane-fired Maple Syrup from his central New York State maple sugar bush.
Overbaugh and his dad Tom have been making Maple Syrup eight for years from the Sugar Maples on their property.
The boiling process which renders the sap from the sugar maples on his property is fired exclusively with propane.
Overbaugh is a former propane and heating oil marketer from central New York State, and is currently the Executive Director for the New York Propane Gas Association (nypropane.com).
The product, sold as "Halsey Hill Maple Syrup, will be available in 4 different packages: 250 ml, 500 ml, half gallon and full gallon containers.
The new packaging and label touts a prominent addition to the design. The "Propane-fired" emblem is an eye-catching addition to the graphic's design.
"We have been making Maple syrup from the trees here in Central New York for almost ten years”, Overbaugh said. "Shane Sweet suggested we highlight our propane-fired process, and that we should tell people about it. We think the Maple syrup lovers out there in the propane industry might like the idea."
Maple Syrup is a cottage industry dating back to the native Americans, who used to drink the sweet sap fresh from the tree. When American colonists were faced with sugar taxes, they began processing the sap into a shelf-stable syrup. Maple syrup can be made anywhere maple trees will grow, but it is primarily in the northeast and upper Midwest, Overbaugh said. “Sugaring Season” is generally in the spring of the year and it is then that the raw syrup from sugar maples is collected, distilled and packaged.
The product is available to anyone and can be shipped anywhere in the US.
"If pancakes and waffles are your thing, here's your chance to get it right and support the propane industry as well" quipped Overbaugh
The product will be available online and for purchase using a variety of generally accepted payment methods.
