Sap!

We tapped our 2 Silver Maple trees this pre-spring as an attempt to grasp free liquid gold known as pure maple surup!  My husband Chris boiled down 2 gallons of the sap last week due to the weather weirdness and he was worried the sap would spoil.  Sap is to be treated like milk and can spoil as easily too.  However, we didn't realize that the 2 gallons would boil down to 6 oz. of surup...and turns to candy if boiled too long :)  Oh well, more sap is flowing in the bags and hopefully we can get enough for one decent sized quart!
 Maybe I'll use some for my granola!
