mmmmmmmm It's that time of year again!
We are tapping our maple trees and getting a lot of sap this year! Our first 2 large jars of syrup were done last night...ooo does it taste good! :)
How is it done? Easily!
The trees are tapped, simply put in a little metal spicket piece, like a plug with a small chute on the face of it and hang a bucket or milk jug from it and collect the sap as it drips in.
When we get to about 5 gallons, we start to boil it...(and collect more....5 gallons will yield only about a quart of syrup)
The sap continues to boil down until it turns into a dark rich yummy syrup mmmmm
We then can it in a hot bath and store it away.....then make homemade pancakes as soon as possible!
