Boiling down maple sap to make maple syrup

We're going to see how much maple syrup we can get from 5 gallons of sap.

speed up the process a bit.As they boil down, I'll pour a little more in until the jug is empty.And it's getting late, so I'm gonna take the sap off the fire, put it in the fridge overnight, and resume tomorrow.

Alright, so this is day two, and this is what we have so far today.We're getting down to the end.

Now I have to filter out all the debris that made its way into the sap while I was boiling it.I'm just using a piece of cloth for that.Now we're gonna finish this off on the propane stove.Now I have to monitor the temperature.Maple syrup boils at about seven degrees above the boiling point of water, so I'll take it off when it's just about to hit 219.Then I'll pour it into my empty bottle after it cools down.

I filled up the bottle with a little leftover.We ended up with about ten and a half fluid ounces of syrup, and somewhere around 12 hours of boiling.

This is some of the best maple syrup I've ever had.
