My cousin's husband makes Maple syrup up in Massachusetts, goes by the name Uncle Jim's Sugarhouse. I'll be making a trip back home in May, just in time to renew the supply, on short rations now.
When I was growing up back on the farm, a winters treat was a wash pan packed tight with snow with a liberal dose of syrup poured on it. My cousin Anna and I would sit on the front porch with our spoons and have a go at it. That, was in fact a good time.
