Here are some pics....more will be coming soon... of our sap harvesting. We are making maple syrup!!!! These pictures are of Maddie getting the sap from the milk jug that is connected to tubing and collecting the sap.
Maddie then pours the sap into the "sap bucket".
After we have gotten about five gallons worth of sap, we start boiling in the kitchen. The sap bucket is taken into the kitchen, we start boiling the water out of the sap on the stove.
Our friends who make syrup boil it over an open fire. So their syrup is flavored with the open air "smokey" taste. It's good, but I must say, I like our syrup too!
