In parts of the northern USA and lots of spots in Canada, this time of the year is Maple Sugar season filled with lots of hard work and hoping for ideal weather conditions. If you’d like a terrific short intro to the process along with some fabulous old photos, see @EllieK and @stevenkennard slideshow presentation!

My 2024 maple sugaring season has ended and we got 30 liters of sap. There were 2 additional liters that I tossed because it had soured and big, meaty moths had drowned in it. I harvested 36 liters in 2023.
I tapped the tree 2/1 and took the bucket down on 3/17. The height of the flow was 2/3 to 2/10.
After boiling we ended up with a little over 1.5 pints of syrup. Lots of work for not a lot of syrup which explains why this stuff is so expensive!

Entry 3
Just 3.5 liters of sap compared to the 8 I got last week. Goes to show how important the temps are for good sap flow.
With the woodstove running we began boiling last weeks sap. We filter it, so bits of wood and any drunken bugs are removed. Then onto the woodstove. You see water evaporating and the sap getting darker. We boil each batch about 75% and store until the season nears the end, then finish it off.
See you next Monday!

Entry 2
(I swear this isn’t an ad for Polar seltzer)It’s been 1 full week since we tapped our Sugar Maple. It started slow but as the temps warmed up, the sap began to flow. Nights in the 20s combined with days in the 40s is ideal.
The tree produced 8 liters. We keep the sap in the refrigerator until the weather is cold enough to run the woodstove, then start boiling it down on top of the stove! (Pictures next week.)

Tapped our Sugar Maple this weekend. I remember when, due to much colder temps, I wouldn’t until late February. But now the sap is usually running by late January, if not earlier. Last year we collected 35 liters of sap which, after boiling down, produced a quart of syrup.
Looking at the upcoming forecast it should be a good week for sap flow.
