Maple Syrup Production
 

I wasn't sure where to post this so picked this one. I have 2 huge sugar maples on my front lawn so this year I decided to try my hand at maple syrup. My wife and neighbors are laughing their butts off at me as they never know what ole redneck Rob is going to do next. I got the last laugh on this one as got 32-34 quarts of sap in 3 days which gave me 3/4 of a quart of syrup which I will share even though they all thought I was crazy :rolleyes: Well here are some pics I thought you might enjoy (notice all the snow we still have)....:grinpimp:

Cheers and stay safe everyone

Pretty cool. How do u get the syrup from the sap.

That's great man, I love me some real maple sizzurupp

32-34 quarts of sap was boiled for 8 1/2 hours leaving maple syrup. The sap is 95% water and the ratio from sap to syrup is 40-1. 40 gallons of sap produces 1 quart of syrup. It is a long process but it is so much better than store bought syrup.....yummy

I'll trade you a couple a pecan trees for that tree. I like me some real maple syrup!

If you take the maple trees, the snow and cold comes with them :*****:

Beautiful but no thanks,would push crawfish season way back

Fair Trade
 

[quote=Ilovestohunt;678589]I think it's a pretty fair trade myself, you take the snow and cold and I get the pecan tree + do some crawfish fishin'.....come on think about what a great trade this would be....:grinpimp:

Wouldn't that Be 1 Gal of Syrup to 40 GAL. SAP??? 1 QT OF SYRUP would 160 to 1????

If I didn't fail my math?? :))))))))

Sho 👀 yummy Rob!
