Several weeks ago I visited a nearby park for their maple syrup demo. I ordered some supplies and tapped 3 of my trees. Although I had missed the first two weeks of the season, the sap would be running 2 to 4 more weeks, depending on the weather. Within 3 days, I had 3 gallons of sap.
The turkey fryer was fired up and the boiling began.
I didn't have lots of sap, so I used a chain to suspend the thermometer in the liquid.
Here, I've switched to a smaller pan and the water evaporates from the sap.
Four hours later, I have 9 oz. of pure maple syrup.
YUM!
