It's starting to warm up. Time to think about tapping your maple trees.

I have one of those, thanks for the reminder
Do you sell this stuff? I saw your store on shopstr. The hat rack is interesting.
I might sell the dehydrated apple chunks I've been making, but not the maple syrup (yet). I'm too new at making maple syrup and it comes out tasting weird. It's sweet and edible, but there's just something about it that's not quite right.
I'm not sure if it's because we don't really have the correct type of maple (it's a norway maple, not a sugar maple), or if I just need to level up my skills.
Hopefully one of these batches will come out right and I'll know it's not the tree.
I now have about 2.4 gallons of sap. If memory serves me right, that should make about a pint of syrup. The sap will be in the fridge until I get around to processing it.
It takes a long time to boil down and I'm told you can not stop partwat through and resume later. Not sure why or if it's true, but I see no reason to test this claim. 🙂
