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。

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
