Folks,
I posted a while back about sugaring for the first time. Well this weekend we cooked down about 6 gallons of sap and made syrup. The prior week had warm nights so the sap didn't run so fast. Monday and Tuesday were good and we already have 6 gallons of sap after only 2 days. We go about 1 pint from the stuff we boiled down this past weekend. It was fun. Smelled great - between the wood fire and the maple smell.
Anyway I posted pics for my family to see as they live more south and have never seen this done. Thought some of you might be interested as well.
