Sap to syrup - 03/16/19 11:40 PM
My daughter and I tapped 6 soft maple trees yesterday. That is mostly what we have here to work with but these ones are close to home. Today we had 4 litres of sap and boiled it down and ended up with 120ml of syrup. That seems like a higher sugar content then I am used to where we usually tap. Maybe I figured it out wrong but to me that came out to about 32-1. I think sugar maple are usually around 40-1 are they not?
Should also say she is doing her science fair on making maple syrup so that’s why we boiled down the small amount.
