Syrup For Sale!

The prolonged winter weather has helped the maple syrup season.  It seems like the slow warmup has allowed the surface moisture to finally seep into the ground so that the trees have access to moisture.  We have had strong flows this past week and are anticipating continued good weather (perspective is relative) for sap flow this week.  We have bottled up some of our first batches of syrup and will make maple cream this week.  On Sunday the 14th, we made 35 gallons of light amber syrup that tasted great and has the proper sugar profile to make maple cream.  If you haven't tried the maple cream before, it is a real treat that has the flavor of maple syrup and the consistency of smooth peanut butter.  Despite its name, it is a pure maple product.  Nothing is added exact raw sap.  The only difference between syrup and cream is that the cream is boiled longer and to a higher temperature that causes the sugars to precipitate out of solution.  It really is tasty and worth a try!  It will be listed for sale on the website as soon as it is ready.
