sugar camp done



We have decamped the maple sugar operation. The first boil started at 3:45 p.m., Feb. 19. Eight gallons of sap from the one tap of the one tree has produced about 24 ounces of syrup. The earliest is best, grade A. The Feb. 27 vintage looks good but check out the ton of sediment. The last batch will put sugar on your flapjacks but has heavy overtones of wood and earth. We're having a pancake breakfast to test them in a week.
