The maple syrup I buy isn't very thick, and I love it. It's Canadian - Camp
brand (http://www.citadelle-camp.com/a_frame.html) says on the label packed
in Canada by the Maple Producers (Co-op). Also has a certified pure Maple
Mark on the label.

It's the only pure maple syrup I've ever seen for sale at the supermarket I
use. It's not something I always have on hand though, as it costs about
$7.50 Australian (about US$5.5, Canadian$6.35) for a 250ml bottle and it
doesn't last very long! I will buy it more often in winter, though, as I
really like it on porridge instead of brown sugar.

There are various maple flavoured syrups available which are a lot cheaper,
but aren't what I want. A new brand of maple syrup appeared on the shelf a
while back which was cheaper ($5 something), and looked promising as it was
Canadian - Steeves brand. However,I looked at the label and as well as
maple syrup it also contained flavouring and water and something else! So
I'm sticking to the Camp, just trying not to buy it too often <g>.
