They were ok. As you wrote, if the prodict was more readily available I might buy some. I have also seen it for sale at the Animal Food Warehouse in Wasilla and Pet Zoo in Eagle River. That doesn't make any sense to me. I know its not pet food and I would say it is probably more tourist food than anything else.<BR/><BR/>That being said, nothing compares to pure maple syrup from the east coast. I always bring back a gallon when visiting family. And when I run out, they send more!Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081019430452000250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2517092579512408100.post-18149907686029327732009-01-26T15:59:00.000-08:002009-01-26T15:59:00.000-08:00Speaking from experience, I don't think the majori...Speaking from experience, I don't think the majority of Alaskans buy these products as they are making them in their own home. Not only do I find my own salmonberry jam to be much tastier than the store bought ones with all the preservatives, I also find it much cheaper! I do have to say that Cloudberry and Raspberry are my personal favorites. I personally am not a huge fan of birch syrup, I do get some from friends and use it for baking though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
