re: Maple Syrup

When my dad was alive he made 10-20 gal per yr and would typically win awards for it at local fairs. Lots of work but incredibly tasty. I like a little darker syrup w more taste than the lighter versions. He had an evaporator pan over two gas burners and would drip sap in to keep his evaporation rate consistent. He had his own gas well so gas was not an issue. I know the baws like cane syrup but I found it too dark. He collected it in buckets so it was work but it was rewarding. I would give anything to do it again for a day w him.
