Maple syrup processing is coming to a close... doing the last of the sap and the Syrup produced so far is adding up... so far 9 jars and two bottles. For a first effort I am pretty pleased and learned heaps doing it... definitely a sustainable way to produce tasty calories from the Maple tree's and a great experience overall. I cannot recommend enough that other's try it if they have the tree's.
