Sunday, another Gallon?

How could Sunday be any better than what we had on Saturday? Well, it couldnt be better though I was flying solo with Becca and we tried for another round of Frances Tree Sap.

The set up was identical. Why change it if it aint broke?

Here, Ethan, Bob and I fill the evaporator and strain the sap before we bring it to a boil.

We had plenty of time to watch it boil as another 40 gallons was in the evaporator. Plenty of time to let Hayden do some sledding with dad! Riley is in close 3rd place bringing up the rear!

After sending all the visitors off to different states, I brought the nearly finished syrup back inside for the last few degrees.

After an hour and 3 final degrees, Becca and I filtered the final batch and bottled the hot tree juice up! Exactly 1 Gallon in the bottles, and a little more for the fridge collection!
More later.
