It's only the early sap that is good. Once the nights stop dropping below freezing, the sap is no longer good for syrup.<br /><br />Kenju, glad to see you can post here again. Ever figure out the problem?<br /><br />Charles, it's good stuff!<br /><br />Dawn, when I lived in NY state, I got to help a friend one year tap trees--and was given some syrup for my efforts<br /><br />Ron, I never listened... I'm now curious.<br /><br />Murf, you can learn a lot from Little House books<br /><br />Vince, yes, I'm teasing myself, but I have decided that if I need to go easy on the sugars, I'm going to stick to stuff like maple sugar and honey and get rid of white sugar! The farmer will pour the sap into buckets and can check to see if anything is in it. He then has to boil the sap down--it takes around 40 gallons of sap per gallon of syrup.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-24838831723324843552011-03-06T03:38:13.470-05:002011-03-06T03:38:13.470-05:00What's to stop whatever rodent that's awak...What's to stop whatever rodent that's awake from dipping into the bucket. <br />You'd wonder about the first fellow that decided to 'tap' the tree.
