I appreciate the input!

My tree is not a sugar maple, it’s a norway maple. Sap to syrup ratio is 60:1 according to the Internet.

I’ll need a lot of sap.

YES. My Floyd made maple syrup for years. 40 gallons will make l I as I remember. I know it is a LOT OF SAP needed. He made and furnished Country Store for years.

It looks like we are.

Heavy thunder storms and temperatures in the 40s.

We have COLD here...Wind and light snow. March is CRAZY.

I did an experiment with 7.5 cups of sap. I was trying to find out my trees sap to syrup ratio.

7.5 cups equals about 60 oz, I think. According to the Internet, a Norway maple trees sap to syrup ratio is 60:1. That means I should have 1 oz of syrup after boiling.

I boiled it down until it was very low and there was not much steam at the end. I got it down to 1/4 cup.

It’s a little sticky, but it tastes like real maple syrup.

I need to do this every year now!

What fun, Jared! One ounce is, what, like a couple of tablespoons? But I bet it was yummy.

You will enjoy making Syrup. My husband loved doing it.

Today, my sap total is 1 gallon + 1 quart + 1 cup.

And that is AFTER taking out 7 1/2 cups for the experiment.
