  • Learn how maple syrup is made: tapping maple trees, collecting the maple water / maple sap, and boiling the maple water down to create maple syrup, maple taffy, and maple sugar! Going to a local sugar bush to see this interesting process in person is a super cute date idea or a family fun weekend activity!

    Yes, you can drink the sap directly from the trees -- but it'd be like drinking maple water. The slightest whisper of maple flavour / sweetness, but almost entirely water.
    In case anyone's wondering, starting sap to final syrup is a 40 to 1 ratio (meaning, for simplicity's sake, let's say you want a gallon of syrup. You'll need 40 gallons of sap to boil down, as the water content is so high. Most healthy maples can give you around 10 gallons of sap -- so you don't need many maple trees, just a lot of their sap).

    You can do it with any maple tree, not just sugar maple but sugar maple has the most sugar. Actually, big leaf maples have the largest sap flowing season from November to March. This year I’m going out and tapping trees in my town and making syrup.

    In Quebec, every year in spring it's the maple sirup time or, as we call it "le temps des sucres". We go to "cabanes à sucre", which are the place where they make maple sirup, with our families and we eat a big and savoury lunch. Then, we go outside and eat this toffee, or "tire d'érable", on some snow (not like her tho, it doesn't look good in her cup).

  • @arakwar
    @arakwar 2 роки тому

    So for the toffee usually you want a bigger spot of snow to poor it over. And by the look of what you had it was not ready, it was still too early to poor. It should not dig that much in the snow. You poor some on the snow, it’ll cool down and start getting hard. You take it with your stick while it’s still a little hot, and eat it. You shouldn’t have to eat snow with it…
    Also, it you’re lucky enough to be able to get some hot toffee right before it’s ready to go on the snow, put it in a bowl and mix it. You’ll get maple butter, which feels like soft sugar cream and taste like maple. If you do it when the toffee is ready you’ll get a harder mix, which ends up closer to maple sugar. Still taste really good. But butter feels a lot better on a toast.
    Spring is the season where I am at risk of getting diabetes… lol
