Anybody here make there own syrup?
I don't have any maples but I do have birch. Not sure if we are going to tap this year or not yet. Its a long couple of weeks. It was a boiling nightmare but fun at the same time. I had to boil every nite after work for a little over 2 weeks. It took its toll on me towards the end but If you have never had birch syrup your in for a treat. The stuff is crazy expensive almost $300.00 per gallon last time I checked.
Like I said I'm not sure I'm up to the work this year as I have had terrible back issues since last august so we haven't decided yet. But I may dig out the pictures from 2 years ago to give you a look see.
I think its 40 gallons of maple sap to yield a gallon. And 100 gallons of birch sap to yield a gallon so you can see why both the maple and the birch syrup are so expensive.
