Many topics you have covered are new to me, but I am enjoying everyone. I somehow got a hold of large quantities of citrus this year (I am a Master Food Preserver here in California) and used your receipes to preserve jam, jellies, lemons in salt, etc. I appreciate all the hard work you do to pass along to us, and am enjoying learning.
This is fascinating and interesting info! Love it! I live in Australia and we want to plant Birch trees. How old would they need to be before producing sap? And would it be the same amounts retrieved and boiled down, as the Maple?
I watch over property in northern Wisconsin that has lots of sugar maples. It’s 10° this morning. What temperature is the sap going to start moving? I was given permission to tap some maples if I wish to. I see people doing it in my area from time to time, it’s absolutely something I want to try.
Ohhhh. . . . maple syrup! I grew up in Michigan with maple tree forests/woods surrounding my neighborhood and maple syrup was plentiful. Now I live in Texas and maple syrup is SO expensive we've stopped buying it. We used to use it in baking as we don't use refined sugar, and loved the viscosity and flavor maple syrup brought to all of our baked goods. Thanks so much for this post! It's encouraging that maybe we can make our own syrup of sorts some day.
We're tapping trees for the first time this year. We only have a handful of maple trees. We also have 3 black walnut trees and next year I'd like to tap those. I once tried that and it tasted like butterscotch. I really like your evaporator. We're just boiling the sap in a large water bath canner - it's what i have this year. My husband is planning on making something better for us to use next year.
We love to make our own maple syrup and have been putting in about 8-12 taps a year. It's the first thing on our homestead that make it feel like spring is coming!
Just curious how many pints of lemonade is a "summer's worth" at your house?

I live in Northern Wisconsin. Never tried getting my own maple syrup. When is the best time to start.
