As a kid growing up, watching my grandparents and others harvesting maple sap from the trees always sparked an interest in me how maple syrup was made. They would start tapping the maple trees by the end of January beginning of February. After tapping the trees, the sap would run into a bucket and every day you would go around and empty the buckets of sap.
Maple sap is a clear liquid containing nutrients from the soil and organic substances manufactured by the leaves. It tastes somewhat sweet, with a sugar content averaging 2 percent sugar, though the percent can run as high as 3 percent, varying from tree to tree, from sugar bush to sugar bush. On average it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of pure maple syrup by boiling the water out through evaporation. This process could take many hours of tending a fire under a homemade flat pan. This process needs to be monitored very carefully not to ruin all your hard work making maple syrup.
With today’s technology and resources maple syrup can be made very efficiently and within a few hours verses days and still achieve the same sweet results.
