Cooked off my first small batch from my yard tree. Lot of piddling for this small amount. Just kinda what I do. Probably go tap my other trees 1st of March.
I didn't boil this down quit as far as I have in past. I have a habit of getting it so thick it doesn't pour out. This tree always runs really sweet. I dont measure things in detail. This is from Probably 10 gallons of sap??

Reheating so can do final filter anf jar.



Think it was The Beav many years ago now. Said filter your sap threw cotton underwear. I do have all the big fancy filter for big strainers. But I always go with old underwear for the final filter. Gives it that clarity and special color.



Not big batch but turned out good for just piddling. I really don't use alot of syrup myself. So I usually just put it in pints and half pint jars. Not sure why it looks this yellow? Seems every batch is different color. But all taste like maple syrup.

Well looks like my little syrup project. Is now under what sports fans call weather delay.

I knew I was way early, just couldn't help myself. Didn't run much last couple days anyway.
