Today......
the second half in our little adventure of syrup making. We got a roaring campfire outside and boiled the three or so gallons of sap that we had collected in the last week over the fire (using clamps) for about 2 hours in the lobster pot. It was steamy and fun just to be outside around the fire with nothing else to do but listen to some good music and build a snowman. When it had boiled down almost all the way we brought it inside and finished it on the stove and then filtered it through a coffee filter. We got about a pint, and I'm not even sure if we boiled it enough, but it tastes like nothing else I've ever tasted. Sweet goodness. A new Tradition? Most definitely.
