Yesterday (Sunday), I boiled off the last of the sap and made 3 quarts of syrup. I think the sugar content was down in the sap, but that's not a big deal. In the end, it was the darkest syrup I have ever made. It tastes different than the lighter syrup, but equally as good (in my opinion).
All in all, we made just shy of 2 gallons this year. That's less than half of last year, which was a very good year. An article in the paper (link to article) sums up the season around here - mild winter, very warm February and March. This is Maple Weekend in New Hampshire, but I think most places are already done boiling. Better luck next year!
Thanks for reading.
