We got really tired of paying the high price that retail Maple syrup demands. So I got on Amazon.com, bought some books, purchased some supplies, and the rest can be viewed on our video. Enjoy!!

  • As you evaporate, syrup temperature increases. Finished syrup boils at 7.1F above the boiling temperature of water. When you decide to finish your syrup, stop adding sap and continue the evaporation process until the liquid is boiling at a temperature 7.1F above that of boiling water. Monitor the heat very carefully as "finish point" is approached so not to scorch the syrup or go beyond desired density.

  • Thanks for the very informative comments!!

  • Probably, but they are really cheap to buy, at about 25 cents each!

  • We combined all the tree sap together in one container, so we'll never know exactly how each individual sap tastes.

    Too bad!

  • Good video........quick question, out of all the "how to" books you got from amazon on making maple syrup, which one do you like the best or would recommend. I am in middle TN and really want try this this year.........Thank you. :)

  • Now I feel like a jerk lol..who am I to talk? I haven't had a girlfriend in over 2 years because I've been too busy researching how to survive when the shit hits the fan (which it inevitably will) and watching videos like this..at least this guy is getting himself out there on youtube and wowwing all the maple syrup-groupie chicks :]

  • Yep that kid would tap trees. About all he's gonna tap. HAHA just kidding :]

  • @thirsokewl He probably has a good, wholesome wife and doesn't screw worthless sluts like most people.

  • lol 2:10 we'll just slip the hole right over our thing

  • gee no sap vids since 2009, mommy must have kicked you out for messing up her house with sticky sap on all the walls and ceilings..lol

  • @thirsokewl awww, that's not nice, he's a cutie!

  • you weren't very popular as kid were you

  • @randallleesteffens  Great work. What about the hickory and black walnut? Can you mix them with maple or other? I'm in the pacific northwest, can I use pine or cedar, sounds crazy doesn't it? Thanks, enjoy.

  • Our homeschool family is watching you make and eat this. Our mouths' are watering!
