Our "first run" syrup. "Rich and spicy sweet, with a wonderful caramel-like flavor" Pure Kahiltna Gold Birch Syrup (now certified organic) is produced on our homestead in Alaska's Susitna Valley, the vast river valley of the Alaska Range. Each spring we collect the sap from the paper birch and evaporate it to syrup in much the same way pure maple syrup is produced. It takes approximately 115 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of birch syrup; maple by comparison is approximately 40:1. Fully concentrated, Kahiltna Gold pure birch syrup makes a superb ingredient in the recipes section of this web site. It is wonderful on ice cream, in milkshakes, and coffee, and adds a robust sweetness to pancakes and waffles. First run is produced within the first few days of the harvest. The lightest and sweetest of the season, it is always limited in supply. Its flavor, sweetness, and color vary from year to year like fine wine, and depend very much on when the sap run begins, and the weather at the time of harvest. FIRST RUN 2011 IS RUNNING LOW! It was an unusually sweet year - this year's first run is sweet, mild, smooth finish, light amber ... AWESOME! OBSP8r1$21.00 Our "mid-run" birch syrup posesses a more complex tangy/sweetness and is somewhat darker and deeper in flavor than our first-run syrup. If you plan primarily to cook with your birch syrup, it would be a good choice for you, as it will require less syrup to get that wonderful birchy flavor! Mid run contains more minerals, and is also preferred for nutritional uses and diets. We use it primarily for birch milkshakes, coffee drinks, and salmon dishes, but, being a true birch syrup lover, I am just as likely to use it on my sourdough pancakes! OBSP8r-1M$21.00 Our new 3.4 oz jug - light weight and compact, preferred by travelers and make a great first taste or small gift. OUT OF FIRST RUN FOR THE SEASON! OBSP34r1$9.75 Grade: Mid Run First Run Birch Syrup in Quarts is now out of stock for the season. At this time we have a small quantity of Mid-Run Quarts remaining. OBSPrQT$78.00 Grade: Mid Run NOW CERTIFIED ORGANIC!! "Sweet and mild, with the distinctive caramel-like flavor of birch" Kahiltna Gold Alaska Birch Breakfast Syrup is an all-natural product made on our homestead by concentrating birch sap to 45% sugars, then blending with pure ORGANIC evaporated cane juice. This process results in a milder, somewhat sweeter syrup at a lower price, while still offering the deliciously distinctive flavor of birch. Our breakfast style birch syrup possesses the perfect flavor to enhance your pancakes, waffles, and french toast and is particularly delicious on sourdoughs. While used more as a table syrup, our birch breakfast syrup can be used for many of the recipes and uses for pure birch syrup mentioned in our recipes and "about birch syrup" pages; you just won't get as much of that birchy flavor. OBBS8r1$14.00 OBBS34r1$7.00 OBBSrQT$48.00 A perfect blend of our mid-run organic pure birch syrup (20%) and raw Alaska Wildflower Honey (80%). The honey comes either from Palmer - the heart of Alaska's agricultural region, the Matanuska Valley - or from Delta, Alaska - where the old barley fields are now covered in fireweed. The honey is estimated to be 85-90% fireweed content. The blend of the two mellows the flavor of birch, and enhances the bouquet of the honey. That's it, pure and simple. This is an awesome sweetener. I can't get enough of it on cornbread,or in my oatmeal. Use it in place of regular honey, and enjoy that extra birch zing! Wild Alaskan Birched Honey comes in a convenient 8 oz. plastic honey bottle with a squeeze cap. BH8r1$13.00 Alaska's fertile Matanuska Valley north of Anchorage - surrounded by mountain ranges, glaciers, and rivers - gives rise to fruits and vegetables famous for their size and quality. Among these are the "rubies" of the Matanuska Valley, raspberries and rhubarb. Every self-respecting Valley garden has a colorful patch of rhubarb. Raspberry patches also abound, but the locations of these gems are often a well guarded secret! Combined in our whole-fruit syrup, the sweet and tart flavors of raspberry and rhubarb complement each other, offering you a taste treat that you will want to use on crepes, waffles, and ice cream for starters. Being mostly fruit, this versatile topping is thick enough to use as a spread on your toast as well. Be creative and enjoy! RRS4r1$6.00 RRS8r1$11.00 Our thick, delicious blueberry syrup is way more than a syrup - it's whole berry texture is really more like a sauce.

It works well on crepes, pancakes and waffles, ice cream and fruit.
