MAKING MAPLE SYRUP

IN THIS EPISODE:

Join us a we walk through the full process of making maple syrup from the sugar maple trees here at Steep Hill Cottage. This is our third year doing it and it has become our favourite spring season hobby.

Dave drills a 5-8cm hole into one of the sugar maples where the tap will be.

Tap, lid and bucket in place not a moment too soon as the sap was already flowing.

Lee checking the supply, a daily task during collection time.

Well worth all the work that went into collection and production of our fresh syrup supply.
