This was by far the best Maple Syrup Making tutorial I have found ! I love how he explains each step and the science behind each step . Thank you so much !
Thanks for this - Here in Vermont, (the largest Maple producer in the Nation) we use miles of vacuum lines to suck the sap from the trees into a 1000+ gallon container. When the arch is fired up, it needs attended all night (before the sap goes stale). Several chords of firewood may be burned. The steam from the sugarhouse can be seen from a mile away. Many sugarmakers offer free pancakes to any visitors who wish to trapse thru the ankle-high mud.
Hello from New Hampshire. I have tapped my Maple trees for the first time. I only have about a dozen I can tap and they are finally large enough. Now, I get into the tricky part - boiling the sap. Thanks for sharing how you do it!
This brings back some memories. As a youngster I lived in northwest Ohio. One year our class, probably second or third grade, took a field trip to a maple syrup farm and got to see the process and sample the result. It also reminds me a bit of our honey operation - my father was a beekeeper and I was pressed into service in all aspects of it.
WOW! I never knew the process of making maple syrup. Unreal how much it has to boil down to achieve the finished product! Makes me want to go fix some French toast! 😋 Thanks for sharing the process Squatch Senior!!
I've never seen bags used before. Very interesting. I have a nice traditional galvanized bucket I use I bought from a sugar camp in 2013. It was one that leaked. But I fixed that and I tap my Silver Maple. Not as high of sugar content but it still tastes good.
Well now we know where Squatch253 gets his excellent teaching skills. Wonderful tutorial on maple syrup. Thanks for sharing!
Brings back memories of back in the 1950s on uncles north Wisconsin farm... tapping syrup way back, over 60 years ago.
Looks great, nothing like home-made... Finally seen Momma Squatch!
Senor, Thank You, for showing us how you {and the misses} make maple syrup.
Thank You.
Kind of like Beekeeping.... starts out fun, gets to be a chore!
Yay, Mrs Squatch Sr. !
First year sap saver here ! It was fun. I'm also glad the process is done. 13 pints and 6 half pints.

Thank you, Squatch family, for inviting us into your home to show us how real maple syrup is made. :)
Thanks to the faculty of Squatch U. And our new instructor Mrs. Squatch .

You are some of the most patient people I’ve ever seen.

Fantastic! I love it! Full watch and Three Thumbs Up! One for each of the maple syrup crew.
I knew of the basics of making syrup, but this explained it fully.

Nice face to the 3rd stage in that bowl. :) I Love maple syrup, and also molasses.
