Across cuisines

Canadian

Maple syrup is the Canadian sweetener — tapped from sugar maples in late winter, boiled down 40:1 to syrup, graded by color from Golden (mild) to Very Dark (deep). Quebec produces ~70% of the world supply. Poured over pancakes, glazed onto ham, stirred into baked beans, distilled into maple whiskey.
