...look what's cooking!
Sap! Lots of it. We've boiled down about 90 gallons of sap so far. The weather has warmed up quite a bit over the last couple of days so the sap is running very, very slowly. I think we actually had our first 70 degree day... today. Breezy and warm. Good for us but not so good for collecting more sap. Next up we'll finish the final boiling process on the stove top and then we'll be filling those jars!
I'll be back soon with more photos of the sap boiler (just in case you wanted to see the new, improved, and highly efficient model) and jars of fresh maple syrup.
If you're in the neighborhood, come on over... we're serving up vanilla ice cream topped with maple syrup!
Would you like one scoop or two?
