enjoy - my daughter called the other day to set a date for getting out to a breakfast at one of the syrup makers. I could hear my two little granddaughters in the background chanting "maple syrup"

I've been addicted to the stuff since I was a kid. Back when I had the trees to make my own, my older daughter used to drink sap, my son would have a glass of syrup with a peanut butter sandwich if I wasn't looking.

sweet gift of nature - and in this case your Parker buddy

I guess I need to have a word with my wife, Charlie. All I got was a cup of coffee and a day old muffin.
Glad you liked it. I'm getting too old to keep this up. It was more fun when the kids helped out. Almost half my taps are still the good old fashioned buckets, so there's still alot of lugging. Even the trees on tubing go into tanks that need to be pumped to the sugar house, so if I'm not lugging sap, I'm lugging the gas-engine pump. (on snow shoes for a good part of the season)

Good on you Edgar for keeping going on the syrup program. We tapped some maple trees in Michigan when I was in college. One day we were hauling a 30gal trash barrel full of sap home to the cooker in the back of a Suburban when our driver had to brake a little abruptly at a light and the barrel tipped over in the back. What a mess! We just opened all the doors and let it pour out onto the street. A good laugh was had by all I can tell you. Birch syrup is popular up here in Alaska but it takes a LOT more sap to make a jug of syrup than it does with maple.

Got that right Charlie.....Danny had Edgars syrup this morning with his waffles. He refuses to use any other syrup...spoiled kid....

Rich, I would love to try some birch syrup. Is it available in the lower 48?

Real maple syrup is like real Parmigiano Reggiano once you have the real thing there is no substitute.

You can order it online from Alaska makers like Alaska Birch Syrup.... not cheap at $160/gallon though! They sell it in 8oz bottles. The folks that I know who formed the first larger commercial operation call their company "Kahiltna Birch Syrup". If you google alaska birch syrup you'll get tons of information. Birch syrup is very good, with a distinct flavor that is completely different than maple syrup.

Julia cooked pancakes this morning and I had maple syrup on them. She got one pancake a little burnt and it really tasted good with the syrup. I will confess that this was after a search for cane syrup came up dry. I can't get enough cane syrup.

Basically in the green mtn. state we put the syrup on anything on our plate. Favorites are scrambled eggs with cracked pepper, sausage, vanilla ice cream, basted on London broil, maple cheese cake, baked beans ........or in a shot glass right out of the evaporator. Necter of the gods
