You Can Make Syrup From Black Walnut Trees? What?

My biggest disappointment with our land so far has been the lack of any Maple trees. I have not been able to find even one maple tree in 40 acres of forested land... and I really wanted to tap maple trees so we can make our own syrup. Little did I know, you can tap Black Walnut Trees... and we have a ton of them.

    I have black nuts trees in the property! Omg I’m so excited I’m getting my drill and gonna try to tap some syrup! Thank you for your video. And I’m gonna follow to see what had happened to your buckets (I’m thinking that someone that watches your videos and lives nearby you, is doing a prank on you!)

    My syrup is a lot darker and the starting sap was just as light as yours...and unless you checked your sugar content you may need to reduce it a little more...carefully. This is my second year of doing this and frankly am blown away at the results...who knew.

    I am in process now for our second year of making syrup and will be cooking this weekend. I invested a little more in better equipment this year including buying a hydrometer so I can get it just right. I tapped 35 trees this year.

    @@FromScratchRanch fantastic... unfortunately my tree options are limited,. Luckily I have great neighbors... which resulted in about 18 trees. Last year it was just an experiment I had to see for myself...those damn KZread videos...and I started late, but the results were encouraging. This year's total was just under 2 quarts...but very tasty at about 66-68 percent sugar.

    In the video I do show setting up trail cameras and catching the thief around minute 11. I then talk about what happened at minute 15.

    Does the flavor of the syrup have any flavors of the black walnut tree or the walnut meat itself or is it just super sweet?

    I have a bunch of black walnut trees as well and the nuts are great! I really like them. The challenge is opening them as it’s one of the toughest shells! Do your research on how to crack them open

    I am in process now for my second year and a bigger operation since it proved to be so good last year in my test. I have 35 trees now tapped this year and will be cooking this weekend. It doesn't take long to get some sap. Some days I get 1 to 2 gallons of sap in a day per tree from the older and bigger trees. Once you tap the tree and if the time and air temps are right, you will get sap right away. I also sometimes collect every day, especially on the warmer days. I do not want it spoiling so I collect it and put it in a deep freezer until I can cook it all at once.

    I can tell you right now it’s not reduced enough. Flows too easily.
