Boiling on the new Gas Kitchen Stove was a sight to behold!!!LOL Even used my Grandfather's Milk pail to bring the Sap into the house !! Boil, boil, and more boiling.... Until, at long last, this is what I ended up with !!! A whole GALLON of Maple Sap, boiled down to just that little bit!! Can someone tell me roughly what grade of Maple Syrup that turned out to be ??

I use a crock pot to boil it down. Not for sale, just for my home use. I usually make a gallon a year and thats all I need http://www.batremovals.com Since 2001,

Scale that down and it's 7 1/2 gallons for a quart of syrup. or about 4 gallons for a pint. It looks like you got about a quarter of a pint: so a decent quality syrup from what you started with. Remember all that steam needs to go somewhere. Inside your house, it'll peel wallpaper, or support a lot of mold. Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.

Just waiting for it to be bottled and delivered. This little bit of Maple Syrup was just for fun, to see if I could still make the stuff !

Do you keep the same batch in and keep adding into a beautiful consistency?

Scale that down and it's 7 1/2 gallons for a quart of syrup. or about 4 gallons for a pint. Rule of 86...............86 / sugar content of sap = approx. gallons of sap needed for gallon of syrup.

Leave the crock on low, and keep adding sap until you dont have any more. Dont let the sap turn sour. Cook it down, or keep it in a reefer, because it only lasts a day or two if it warms up.
