Making Maple Syrup





Around this time of year everyone wants to get out. We decided to try making maple syrup from the sugar maples on the farm. We found a book called Backyard Sugarin that showed you how to do it without investing a ton on money in equipment and we are well on our way to our first gallon of maple syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup but we are gathering full milk jugs all the time. We are storing it in an old pepsi keg until we can get enough to start boiling, probably this weekend. Hoping to have some on pancakes at Easter!
