Abstract: The sugar syrup process of the invention reduces water content in collected sugary solutions, such as maple sap, to the required sugars measurement in a clean and naturally occurring way. Water reductions as much as 20% more efficient than the reverse osmosis (RO) process are achieved. These provide a 75% water reduction by using the natural climate conditions on site, such as are found in a maple sugar bush or in northern climes in the daily freeze and thaw process such as occurs in springtime. Undesired water is further reduced by the process to levels in order to achieve the goal of a finished sugar or maple syrup with 1/3 water and 2/3 sugars.   The invention provides a process for the commercial production of sugar, particularly maple, syrup comprising the steps of exposure of collected raw sugar solutions and maple sap on-site to a predominantly or relatively naturally occuring cold surface, gradually cooling the sap to a temperature sufficient to commence freezing, continuing the cooling and freezing to form a solids body of sap ice and a component separate from the solids body containing first sugars, continuing said cooling and freezing until the first sugars containing component reaches a substantially thickened or solid consistency, and thirdly, separation of the first sugars containing component from the said solids body.   The invention also provides a process where selective exposure of the solids body to a heat source causes the sap ice to commence melting and then collecting said melt liquid having the highest concentration of remaining sugars running off first, preferably in a downward direction.   By the process the melt liquid is re-combined with the sugar or maple gel and subjected to thermal cooking or curing into a traditional amber coloured flavourful maple syrup.
