Making Maple Syrup, eh?

Thanks for the tips! How interesting about the long johns - it'd be kind of fun to wrap some up with all the other supplies for him Those are good points, too, about needing to start outdoors and to keep a continuous boil. Neither of us have done this before, and I can kind of imagine if it's totally unsuccessful it'd be a while before trying again. So the guidelines about boiling are really helpful. Hopefully, I'll have something to post in a few months!

Had to add this maple syrup link to Inutik. Fascinating. In the Spring 2011 edition of the Food and Drink magazine (which must cost incredible amounts of money to publish and give away free) published by the Ontario Liquor Board, which as you know charges also incredible amounts of money (much of it taxes of one kind or other) for Ontario-sold booze.

Does anyone know of a place to experience this, for those of us who live closer to agave syrup territory than to a sugar bush?

We're mid-LittleHouseInTheBigWood, and "mommy, can we?" is oft heard. Obviously, it would be next year, not this one.
