Maple Sugaring in Pure Michigan

Q: For somebody that is new to the idea, what is Maple Sugaring?
A: Firstly (and basically), Maple Sugaring is another term used to describe the process of making maple syrup. That is, boiling maple sap, which evaporates the water molecules leaving one with a more concentrated sugar-rich liquid:syurp. There is however a product called maple sugar, which is created when the syrup is boiled down further (a laborious and difficult task) until the sugar particles crystallize, making maple sugar. But maple sugaring does not refer to the process of making maple sugar.
