RE: In Search of More Sugar Maple Trees #fff
I find it fascinating how you tap syrup from the tree, ain't nature amazing! We rarely find real maple syrup here and if we do, it's very pricey! We mostly find maple flavoured syrup which of course is laden with sugar and doesn't taste as good as the real thing!
Hope you and @farm-mom had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Wonderfully interesting post!
We only started making maple syrup four years ago, and in that time we have learned so much. We don't eat a lot of items like pancakes, french toast, or waffles unless our children and their families are visiting. When they are here we do the BIG BREAKFAST and the syrup flows. Much of the maple syrup is used by @farm-mom when cooking.
I always thought the price of real maple syrup was a little steep, that was until we started making our own. Even in this neck of the woods, where real maple syrup can be found on display in every little country store, it still demands a good price. An 8 ounce bottle of the stuff goes for $8.00. A gallon of maple syrup sells for over $60.00.
Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
