About
Maple syrup is a dense, boiled tree sap that weighs about 11.4 ounces (324 g) per cup.
Maple syrup has a typical density of roughly 11.4 pounds per gallon (1.37 g/mL). Boiling off the excess water from raw sap concentrates the natural sugars into a heavy, compact liquid. It is not quite as thick or heavy as honey, but it is significantly denser than water, milk, or cooking oil. A standard liquid pint contains about 1.4 pounds (648 g) of syrup.
From Wikipedia
Maple syrup is a sweet syrup made from the sap of maple trees. In cold climates these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in late winter and early spring.
