Lunchtime

My apologies for not downloading the ‘boil’ pictures from the camera but I will soon – sugaring is in full swing and we’ve made 39 gallons of syrup in two weeks. That means we’ve boiled off 1950 gallons of sap, which is a lot of lugging buckets around mountains and tending 900 degree fires, let me tell you…

In the meantime, here’s some eating and drinking in the woods…

In answer to your question, Cheyenne, sap is DELICIOUS. It’s about 2% sugar, so it’s ever so lightly sweet and makes a very refreshing drink when you’re out in the sugarbush. We drink loads of it. (It’s also a very good way of encouraging children to get involved. Free sweet stuff!).
