Oh so sweet!

We all make stuff other than pipes, so here's a place where "anything goes" as far as showing off some of your projects and other hobbies.

Oh so sweet!

Post by Jthompson1995 »

Just finished up making maple syrup for the year. Really pleased with the yield, a gallon plus a pint from 30 gallons of sap collected. Really cool to make this from trees right in our back yard.

That is awesome!!! My husband broke a branch in our maple this year while he was taking down Christmas lights. A few weeks ago it really let go of some sap. Wish I would have had a way to collect and process it.

That's fantastic! I really need to move out of the suburbs. I have great memories of drinking maple sap cocoa in a sugar shack up in the boonies of Pennsylvania as a kid. Great home DIY.

No need to move, I live in the suburbs too. Just need to find some maple trees you can tap. I may have to try that cocoa.

I'll see what I can do. May have to sneak it past SWMBO.

I've been given permission to bring one 8 oz. jar to the meetup. Who's bringing the pancakes?

Seriously though, if everyone wants to chip in for supplies and someone supplies a sizeable griddle, I'll do the cooking. :)
