Sugaring Time --Making Maple Syrup

We tapped the trees outside of school --a little late this year,mid-march,because we were all sick but the sap stilled flowed. We boiled the sap outside of the school. We had two burners cooking. Each pot held about 40 quarts and boiled down for about 5 hours (while adding more sap throughout the day). At the end of the dy we moved what was left to the stove at home to finish it off and can it. We ended up making about 36 pints of syrup. Yummy!!!
