MAPLE SYRUP
我が家のメープルシロップは自家製です。
裏の木に適当に穴をあけてサップを採ります。
最近は天候不順で大量に採取するのが難しくなってきました。
自家製メープルシロップのことが雑誌に掲載されました。

Thank you Dave !
Collecting maple sap one gallon at a time.
16 trees were tapped, but this year,
it was TOO COLD so not too much sap flowed from the trees.
Last year, we collected 100 gallons in less than 10 days,
this year, we only got 30 gallons in 20 days.
This is where we "hold" the sap until we are ready to
BOIL
it takes 50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup
so you have to
BOIL
BOIL
BOIL
all day long
It takes a lot of wood
A lot of patience....
and you have to enjoy playing with fire
But then you can make nice and tasty maple syrup
Yummmmmm
