We've seen some of this process before, but we were invited to participate in the process and earn the Maple Syrup Pathfinder honors a while back. How fun to be a part of it!

Another way to collect the sap
First they boil it down a lot in the garage in big pots.
As it gets closer to the right consistency, they bring it inside so that it can be watched very closely. When the drops are thick, then it's done.

A million thanks to Tracy for teaching us all about maple syrup making and for sharing the product with us!! We had lots of fun!
