RE: MAPLE SYRUP TIME
Depending on how much sap you are boiling down, I can see it lasting into the night. To boil down the mere 29 gallons of sap and the other batch of 56 gallons each batch took around 10 hours until it was in the bottles. If a larger amount of sap was collected, I could see the boil lasting well into the night.
I love the idea of tossing some into the snow, kind of like a snow cone. Will have to try that on my next batch, as it is going to snow again tonight. Who says you shouldn't eat the yellow snow.😁😁😁.
Thanks for the up-vote and reply.
Always appreciated!
Always humbled!
The site is acting a little funny @firinfunfood this comment was for you. thanks again thebigsweed
Haha! Yellow snow for the win, @thebigsweed! Now that you say this, I know your are right about the time. It was my uncle's place and he had a huge grove of trees. I can remember trudging through. Those were long days as well as long nights. I think we kids missed a lot of it, but I am sure glad for the memories.
I hope you get photos of the syrup flinging. We had many cousins and everyone would be searching for it, since it melts in. And plus the dark lol. I think they had big lights on the trees where they were boiling. This was back in the 1960's since I am old!
