Maple sugaring time!

Starting in March and finishing in April, we tapped our maple trees, harvested maple sap and made maple syrup. With a few necessary supplies, a homemade evaporator and a lot of ingenuity we boiled down the maple sap into syrup.

We collected the sap by using a combination of sap buckets and re-purposed one-gallon plastic water jugs.

The finished product.... our own wonderful maple syrup!
