This is a very quick video of our best year to date (3 years) for making maple syrup from the four mature maple trees we have on our 5 acre farm. Despite the small set up, it is still a whole lot of work to turn sap into syrup. Below are links to the sap collection buckets I use.

Always fun to make syrup and tastes better too. We’re done here also, trees started to bud.
Nice! I like getting the real stuff every now and then. I really need to try to make my own someday. 👍👍

JW. Real maple syrup soooo much better than 'pancake' syrup. But $$$$. If you have access to some mature maples it is forth a try. A lot of work. Ratio is about 45 to 1. So you have to boil off 44 gallons to make 1 gallon of syrup. I went through a big stack of firewood this season.

@TryNewThings no sugar maples on my land. I have a few silver maples. Not sure how well they work.

@@projectswithjw 3 of my 4 are silver and one sugar. They work just fine, maybe just more boiling.
Wahoooo. Your own Maple Syrup - nothing like it. 😊

It tastes better when you put so much work into making it.
Nothing like pure maple syrup - especially your own.

Agreed 100%! Lots of work, but I enjoy the end results. Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment.
Those who wander why real maple syrup is expensive have never tried making it.

Isn't that the truth... Whole lot of work for about a gallon of syrup.
