Description
This was a maple flavoring and each little bottle would make so many pints of maple syrup. I don't know when this was introduced, but I remember getting it around 1970. You would boil water, sugar, and a bit of this mapleine to make your own maple syrup. The hot syrup was wonderful on pancakes and it was incredibly cheap compared to the popular bottles of pancake syrup.

As kids we always whined becuse it wasn't Log Cabin in the bicentennial glass bottles!!
I still have a bottle of Mapleine, made by Crescent Mfg. Co. It must be about 40 years old. I now live in Australia, and when I visited the USA recently I couldn't find it on the shelves at the supermarket. I checked the internet and found out that the rights to it were bought by McCormick Foods who produce it "in limited quantity." Does anyone know where to buy it? It is an excellent product, tasty and economical.
I grew up on the homeade syrup made with Mapleine. My grandmother has always kept me supplied but it is no longer on the shelf. I did some searching this morning and was able to find it for puchase on the McCormick website. I myself purchased five bottles. It is packaged in the same blue box. I believe it was $3.00/bottle plus s/h.
