My three brothers, Donnie, Denny and Larry making maple syrup. We have done this for years. I remember my parents doing this when I was little. What a wonderful tradition and it tastes so good. You need 40 to 50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. The sap is cooked down in the outside cooker and then the final straining and bottling is done inside the trailer. Quite often they make pancakes in the trailer too and eat them with the fresh hot syrup. Mmmmmm good!!!
