45/365 Boiling sap
Another maple syrup photo, as today we started boiling down some sap. We boil it down most of the way on the fire and once it has reduced to "almost syrup", we bring it in and finish it on the stove. You have to be very carefull, if you over cook it a tiny bit, it become a hardened block of sugar in the bottom of the pan. You don't want to make that mistake since it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.
