First we get our equipment set up, 5 pails/lids/spouts.

















Next we find the maple trees in the back forest that we marked last year.

















Amy and I went out to drill 2 inch holes and set the spouts.



















The pails all set up and ready to collect sap.
















Sarah is my loyal sap collector.



















We are constantly boiling pots of sap. One this big will make only a liter jar of the final maple syrup. Crazy huh? We are now experimenting with boiling over a wood fire.


















You really have to watch it by this point or you will boil too long and make candy. (This is after about 7 hours)

















A jar of our final product - yum! A perfect Grade A Medium Amber.
















& This is how we use it.










Looks like some one else wants a taste.
