    Maple Syrup Season Update GF Radio

    by Eric · This post may contain affiliate links, its one way we pay the bills. · 1 Comment

    Eric talks with Bill of Maple Knoll Farm about tapping Maple Trees for sap, making maple syrup, and how this warm winter is affecting the maple syrup season. Bill can be seen in our GF Video Make Maple Syrup here. Bill has about 150 trees tapped, using metal buckets. He and his family collect the maple sap, and boil it down in the evaporator in the family sugar shack. This warm winter weather has thrown a wrench in the usual maple syrup making process. Sap runs in sugar maple trees when the nights are cold and the days are warm. This year we've had just warm weather for the most part.

    In the sugar shack, Bill and his family fire up the evaporator and boil down the sugar maple sap to syrup. Its very cool process to watch. There are several maple syrup operations in our town, and we visited another one recently and made this how to make maple syrup video there. Each sugar shack is different, reflecting the interior design sense of each sap house owner.

      Mmmm sounds good Cindy! : ) I'll have to try that repcie. Thanks! I have a old waffle maker that I got from my mother in law. I make the waffle batter x 3 and make em light, then freeze em up for toasting later. It works out great. Also, ever try adding Hodgson Mill's Multi Grain cereal mix made with Milled Flaxseed and Soy to your repcies? It's great! There is also have a delicious repcie on the back of the box for Fiber Rich Muffins. Gee, I must be hungry! It's past lunch . God bless you Cindy. Love your music~ Have a great time in Nashville! I'll be jammin' tonight here in MA . Donna : )
