Making maple syrup for fun in Grantham, New Hampshire.
Feb 28, 2009
Made some
Boiled down 1.5 gallons of sap just for a taste (and before a cold week that will likely produce no sap). It is very light in color and taste, but is good. 43:1 ratio, so the sugar content is pretty good for this time of year. Off we go!
Welcome to this blog about making maple syrup. Up here in New England, we are surrounded by sugar maples, but only a small percentage are tapped each year. Read here about my second season of backyard sugaring. I'm hoping to make maple syrup as a hobby and provide enough for ourselves and maybe some gifts. Please leave your comments!
