A successful season of sugaring has come to a close. I am learning a little bit more each year. This year I boiled down about 40 gallons of sugar maple sap to produce at least a gallon of maple syrup.
This morning we celebrated with blueberry pancakes for breakfast!
Later this week I will be hosting a pancake party in my kindergarten classroom to share with my students who learned about the process and helped record and collect sap from our schoolyard maples. Our class also donates some syrup to a local non-profit for a fundraising auction that helps support our school and community.
It has been a sweet harvest!
