We have GALLONS of Maple Syrup on hand. Beau makes it every Spring from the three Maple trees we have in our house yard.

There’s a learning curve, but he’s really good at it now - five seasons in - and every year he improves some aspect of the operation.

He uses a very shallow pan with channels in it and that boils down the sap to the consistency he needs, then we finish it off on the kitchen stove. He foes this over a wood fire, outside. First year I ended up making some into ‘Maple Sugar’ because I got it too hot.

Yep. Learning curve!
