In the spring when the snow is still on the ground, my husband and I like to make maple syrup. This year spring was late, and we made maple syrup until the end of April.
There was a spring snow storm when we were tapping.
Frost on the trees.
First we drill holes in our maple trees, put a spigot in and hang bags. Then we dump the sap out of the bags into a stainless steel pan and boil it on an outside grill. Next we take the sap inside and cook it down more on a wood stove. It takes 30 to 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. Our sap is higher in sugar content than most, so it takes less sap to make maple syrup.
Here is a tapped tree.

I’m testifying that this is the BEST maple syrup through all time, space, matter and beyond… which is only fitting for Jim’s FAMOUS waffles… galactic!
Jim will be pleased to hear you like his waffles.
Thanks for a great article.
I think what you said was very logical. But, what about this?
suppose you wrote a catchier title? I mean, I don’t
wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a post
title to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean Making Maple Syrup | Blue
Star Visions is kinda vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo’s home
page and watch how they write post headlines
to get people interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab
readers interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it
might bring your blog a little livelier.
Thank you for your good ideas. I usually do have photos and videos. A catchy title is always good.
By the way, we are back to making maple syrup again– it’s that time of year.
Hi there, the whole thing is going perfectly here and ofcourse every one
is sharing facts, that’s really fine, keep up writing.
Great blog! Will be your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with just a few simple tweeks would actually make
my blog jump out. Please inform me the place you got your design. Kudos
