How timely! As I type,I am finishing off our first batch of maple syrup for this year. I don't think that the season will last long..it has started late because of the cold winter,and the buds are swelling. If we get a few warm days,they will be out and so ends the sap running. It sure is good,tho"!!! I like to make maple custard pie and maple walnut icecream. Of course,the family likes to eat those treats!

Sounds fun, Barb, I'm always envious of your self-sufficiency, I imagine the homemade syrup tastes so much better than the store-bought stuff!

Kevin,it is fun..but as Susan found out,it is alot of work!! It takes alot of wood and 40 gallons of sap to each gallon of syrup(approx.). So far this year there is no mud..so I guess the cold winter has at least that to it's credit! Do you use the same mailing address? I would gladly send you some to try! You can let me know.
