    I love Olivia selling her imaginary treats, but her giggle over the real thing was so sweet! And I loved the maple sap boil and Gina using the syrup in her stir fry sauce. And the dogs, and Figaro, and the smokehouse sign. This video was chock full of goodies!

    Warm maple syrup on vanilla ice cream, life doesn't get any better!

    The syrup looks so good! Takes a lot of sap to make that little bit of syrup, but some is better than none. Will taste so good on pancakes and waffles for sure! I loved that you put the ice cream in for Olivia to find, such wonderful memories for her. Spending family time is always priceless no matter what you are doing. Love it! Loved your smokehouse sign Gina and your stir fry looks amazing and so yummy!

    Great video! The smokehouse sign looks awesome! Great job Gina! Loved the ice cream trick on Olivia. She looked like she really enjoyed that. Her giggles are so sweet to hear. She is growing & gets prettier all the time. Al, you had a mischievous look on your face when hiding the fudgecicles. I love the time you take with Olivia to use her imagination. You’re gonna have to build her a playhouse before she gets too old to enjoy it. My dad built us one when we were kids & we spent many hours in it. As we got older, it just became a place for storage. Yours could later be used for many different things on the farm. Loved watching the maple syrup process. Of course, I always love seeing the goats. Keep the great videos coming! Blessings on y’all & your homestead! Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️😁🙏

  • @BogCritter802
    @BogCritter802 4 роки тому +1

    Awesome to see this today! Been researching making my own syrup at home and stumbled upon one of your older videos about a week ago...I immediately recognized you guys from the local coop as I’m a meat guy there! Thoroughly enjoy your contributions and insight, finding your channel has renewed a passion for creating my own “micro-stead” and taking it beyond hobby.
    I live just over the river in VT, tapped a single large maple in my front yard and yielded about 7.5 gallons of sap this past week. Boiled it off yesterday ...it took me 8 hours total on a Loco fish fryer burner, in my homebrew kettle, finished in the house....needless to say I’ve already invested in one of those Bayou Classic Dual Jet Burners..Thanks for the helpful info!

    I've made several batches of syrup. The temp is important, but leave the lid off so the syrup can reduce and thicken up. PS. Beautiful job on the Lumnah sign Gina! Pss... I loved the end.. Nice gag. Olivia is such a rockstar, and she seemingly enjoyed the nice twist. Good fun :)

  • @adelechicken6356
    @adelechicken6356 4 роки тому

    We always lifted out the frozen sap, let it drain a bit and threw it out. It's pure water and you then have less to boil out. However, we were tapping 20 to 40 trees, so that made a lot more difference.

  • @glendabaldwin4423

    @70acres 4 роки тому +1

    I thought I heard, a long time ago, that it took 10 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. I guess I heard wrong. 11 gallons of sap makes 2.5 pints? I loved your surprise on Olivia, that was a lot of fun! There's that Irish Nicholas Mosse bowl again. I have got to find myself one! Blessings to all.

    • @mrmaple4959
      @mrmaple4959 4 роки тому

      It depends on how much sugar is in the sap, but on average it is about 40 gallons of sap to one gallon of syrup. This year the sugar content is low for me, it takes 60 gallons of sap for one gallon of syrup.

    It reminds me of when I was a kid. We used to cook the maple syrup in big black cauldrons, on a wood fire outside. The cauldrons would hold about 30 gallons of sap. After cooking down, the kids would get the last of the syrup. It was real thick like molasses . We would get a cup of snow and them pour the syrup over the ice, It was awesome

Yes, the PERFECT touch to the smokehouse! My Gina would say it makes the smokehouse POP!! 😁 Olivia won’t know what to expect the next time she opens the ice cream stand!!

    The 1st time I tasted Maple Syrup was on pancakes at the Meyersdale Pancake Festival while on a fieldtrip with my school eons ago. We made it to Whitetop, Va. to enjoy the Maple Syrup with a breakfast fundraiser, but never got to see it made, it was too cold that year. Thank you for sharing this Al. I never knew the liquid came out clear, (nor how you got it out of the trunk,) then turned while cooking.
    Do you think you may grow cane for Molasses one year? It is time consuming, but delicious! A lot of the old timers have gone on now, hardly anyone left that still makes homemade.
    Gina you are very gifted. Beautiful sign! Delicious looking dinner! We do have delicious honey here!
