Tuesday was the last boil of the maple syrup season.
We boiled 55 gallons of sap and produced a little over a gallon.
Sap at the beginning of the season is sweet & clear and as the season progresses,
it becomes less sweet and more watery.
Therefore, it takes more sap and a longer boil to produce a gallon of syrup.
The early syrup, Light Amber, is lighter, sweeter and has a more delicate maple taste.
The latest product, Dark Amber, is thicker, more robust and has a definite maple taste.
Both are delicious!
