Its that time of year again...as the weather starts to inch above freezing during the day the sap in the maple trees starts to run. This past week, we taught a group of school kids about the process. Then Saturday was the big Pancake and Syrup Day. Here are a few photos...and factoids for your entertainment :)
It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup!
At the Audubon, there are more than 700 trees tapped this year.
The pancake syrup you buy at the grocery store has less that 1% real maple syrup.
This is SO cool. I LOVE real maple syrup... and hate the fake stuff.
