We are super excited to highlight our good friends Jenn and Henry who fish with us in the summertime, but who harvest wild Alaskan Birch sap for 3 furious weeks in spring and evaporate it into Wild Alaskan Birch syrup! Unlike the common-place maple syrup which takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. It takes them collecting 110 gallons of birch sap to make 1 single gallon of syrup. What they do is a true labor of love and dedication to a wild craft practice nearly unheard of in these modern times.
 
Sustainably harvested birch syrup from the boreal forests of Alaska.
Crooked Creek birch syrup is made from the sap of the Alaska Birch (B. neoalaskana) tree. For 3 short and intense weeks each spring, the trees are tapped, sap collected and turned into syrup. Birch syrup is rare because of the difficult and tedious process to produce it.
 
As the birch syrup season progresses, the sugar content and minerals in the birch sap change. This creates 3 different, unique and distinctive flavor profiles.
Comes in plastic almond jugs shown in the picture reel in sizes of 8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz, 64 oz, 128 oz
 
EARLY RUN: Light in color, the early run is sweet with notes of caramel. It is fantastic on breakfast foods, on top of ice cream, in Italian soda, coffee and lattes and on hot buttered biscuits.
 
MID RUN: Slight darker with a more complex flavor profile than the early run, the mid run is a fantastic option for both sweet and savory foods. From breakfast to dinner, mid run birch syrup is a perfect addition.
 
LATE RUN: Deeper in color and flavor, the late run is tangy, sweet and savory all-in-one. It is excellent for cooking and baking, as a glaze on veggies, meat and seafood, in salad dressings and sauces.
