Birch Boy Gourmet Table Syrup
Syrup from the Western paper birch is dark and intensely flavorful, making it the ideal choice for creating Birch Boy gourmet table syrup. About 30 to 50 gallons sap make one gallon of this version of Alaskan birch syrup, stabilized with fructose. This breakfast style syrup has a mild, slightly sweet-tart, caramel flavor that is just right on sourdough pancakes, waffles, French toast, ice cream, yogurt, and oatmeal. Used in delicate desserts, it imparts a tantalizing caramel flavor and aroma without having to use high heat. Satisfied customers tell us it has replaced maple and other syrups at the morning breakfast table.

Alaskan Red Raspberry Syrup
Indescribably delicious red raspberries grow wild throughout the relatively dry areas of temperate Alaska. These plants are the species (Rubus idaeus) from which the cultivated red raspberry is derived. Alaskan Natives and settlers domesticated large patches close to home for easy picking, and this high-pectin fruit continues to be highly valued for jellies and jams. Only perfect handpicked fruits are juiced by steaming for this syrup--a great topping, dessert ingredient, and flavoring for teas and iced beverages. The item number for this product is D1-- "D" stands for Diana because Diana loves Alaskan wild raspberries so much and wanted us to make raspberry syrup so badly that she spent all of her spare time this summer picking raspberries and showing up at the door of our syrup kitchen with her full buckets and a devilish grin.

Strawberry Rhubarb Syrup
Alaskan road houses and rustic hotels served pies and preserves combining strawberries with garden rhubarb, a popular combination that makes a delightful syrup as well. The strawberries begin to ripen just when the rhubarb is ready for its second cutting, and both grow unusually large and succulent in gardens of upper Lynn Canal. Only perfect strawberries and rhubarb stems are steamed for their sweet-scented juices. This syrup is a great pancake topping and sweetener for fruit smoothies.

Originally from Siberia, this cherry was cultivated by Russian settlers of Sitka, capital of Russian America. In the 1920's the Sitka experiment station distributed this sour cherry through-out Southeast Alaska. It has adapted so well to the Haines area, escaping to roadside ditches and clearings, it could be mistaken for a native plant. This syrup is a wonderful topping and used Russian style to sweeten hot tea.
