40GallonsMaple Sap((tecently tapped from maple trees))
Instructions
Boil 4-8 gallons
When sap evaporates to about half level, combine both pans into one, and resume boiling.
Replace sap from empty pan with fresh sap from the taps. Bring to boil.
When the pan with the first batch of sap evaporates to half level, top off with fresh boiling sap. Resume boiling.
Repeat through the entire batch of maple tree sap. DO NOT OVERCOOK! 40 gallons of maple sap will yield about 1 gallon of maple syrup. Use hydrometer to determine thickness. (Real maple syrup will be runnier than store bought, and will thicken as it cools.)
Store maple syrup in refrigerator. Maple syrup will mold at room temperature.
