OP Dear consuelo: It takes several quarts of sap to make a quart of syrup. Because their firing technique was inferior,
I doubt that they could make vessels large and strong enough to do the job. And I have never read authentic accounts of their doing so. Bradford's History doesn't mention it. And when sugar was brought in from Barbados,
it was so prized by the Indians that when Canonicus was asked by Roger Williams to send and Indian force to act
as scouts for Connecticut settlers who were fighting the
Indians there, he agreed if he received a present of a
pound of sugar. Why would he want sugar if he could have
maple sugar made?
