It's syrup season! This is an annual tradition at our place and a great excuse to get outdoors and enjoy the mild spring weather. It's so easy to do and the kids love it. With about 10 tapped trees we produce enough syrup to last the whole year.

oh, so it's not a days-long process then?

then how do you decide what day to tap?

To get the spiles and buckets on the trees? Probably like 20 minutes. Boiling down is what takes forever. I repurposed a baby monitor to keep an eye on the propane burner while I’m going about my work day. 40 liters can take an 8-10 hours to finish (depending on outside temp + wind)

it's very cool to create together with kids that. i think it's something they will remember for a long time and can pass on to their kids in the future!
