Spring is here and we collecting sap to make maple syrup. First you tap the trees to collect the water like sap. You then have to boil down. We built a back yard red neck sap boiler and it is working well. Once you get a lot of the water boiled out 80% or more we take it to our stove in the canning shack and continue to boil it down until it is the consistency you like, we then can it in pint jars.
