Once you have had real maple syrup you will never eat that crap from the grocery store.

Some good friends of ours always bring some good stuff from New York back for us. Absolutely amazing stuff.

Took a few pics this time last year when visiting the the bro-in-law if it's OK to post here:

Collecting:



Boiling:



Finished product:



My brother in law does it as a hobby and not a business. He taps maybe 3 trees on his property and another 3 or 4 on his neighbours' and then shares the syrup. He'll brign us some in July when he visits. 8 liters made so far.

Excellent addition to the thread. His set up is a bit fancier than mine but it is done pretty much the same way...I guess there is only one way for a hobby syrup guy. no miles of tubing and such. I am up to 3 litres to date and the weather forecast for the next few days should give me a good run of sap. Fingers crossed.

Me too.
The few maples in my area are about as thick as that fence post in Andy's pic !

Just thought I can't die without knowing the Maple Syrup, I purchased a bottle today.
Very familiar taste for me. Yes, I have been calling this syrup "Hot Cake Syrup" for decades
I've got wiser. Thank you very much!

Cheers, Jeff

We need to replace 'giving Bacon' with 'Giving Maple' !

Always have it on my pancakes when Stateside (even tho' its probably watered down. !)

Actually, its also pretty damn good on Bacon when frying!

I'm picking mine up tomorrow from the farm I've patronized for years .... $70.00 for 4 liters.

Sometimes I'll use a Teriyaki/Wasabi marinade on my chicken before tossing it on the BBQ...I may have to spike it with some Maple next time and see how that goes!
