Hey everybody and thanks for stopping by!
It rained last night-enough to wake me up from a sound sleep. Made me happy I had put about 4 layers of foil on top of the turkey fryer and used my super rubber band to keep it in place!
Thus began day two of sappy syrup day! This was our starting point.
A beautiful golden hue! More on that in a minute…….
Today was also coffee roasting day! 😅☕️
I love the smell of green coffee beans! I also like the smell of them as they begin roasting, further on in the roasting process, and of course, the finished product!
Now, back to the sap……
It had finally boiled down enough to move the sap to a smaller stock pot.
During this time, we decided I’d better head to the post office to ship the six pounds of coffee I roasted before we got down to the nitty gritty of the final syrup stages.
Once that was done, we continued to watch and wait. This is the first time we have tried making maple syrup. Our 9 gallons of sap boiled down to approximately 28 ounces of syrup, and here’s the finished product!
A beautiful medium golden color and a buttery maple taste! I read somewhere that early sap produces a light golden color, mid season a medium golden color and end of season, but before it’s too late, a darker golden brown. I am pleased as is @silvertop! We are already making plans for next winter’s batch and what extra equipment we might need. I can hardly wait!
However, now I feel like Cot looks……
Do you think I might can sleep tomorrow at work, lol? (sigh).
It’s all good-just this coming Saturday-I’m sleeping in and am doing nothing but going for a hike! 🤣
That’s gonna be it for now. Take care and have a blessed evening or day wherever you are! 👣🐑🤗☕️😎👍😁🍯🌳😴
