Last week while wandering around the woodlot of a settler farm established in 1835 in southern #Ontario and now part of a provincial park (Presqu'île), the family and I spotted a wooden spigot that's been stuck in a Maple for a very long time (I'd love to know exactly how long). #history #MapleSyrup #Trees #histodons #Canada

If you have been feeling miserable, coffee and waffles (with maple syrup) on the balcony makes everything feel better.
Actually, maple syrup makes most things better.

Currently in #icecream machine: a blended mix of a tin of #coconutmilk, 300 ml #almondmilk, 100 ml dark #maplesyrup, 2 large spoons crystallised #ginger, 2 large spoons red #miso #vegan #recipe

In some parts of the world #CanadianMapleSyrup is very valuable.

Beim Frühstück drüber nachgedacht und dann nachgeschaut: Mir war nicht klar, dass smoked maple syrup tatsächlich ein Ding ist. Wird jetzt wohl bald #mainstream sein. #Canada #wildfire #maplesyrup

One of my neighbors made signs for my little #maplesyrup selling kiosk. I didn't ask for it....he just showed up with them. There are good people out there.

[a wonderful description of maps in their exploration, historic, cultural, economic and political settings]
“Maps have been invaluable throughout Canada's history. They promised fame and fortune to early merchant-adventurers and guided army commanders. They legitimized a politician's dominion and allowed businessmen to stake new claims. And they helped ordinary citizens build communities. Terra Nostra celebrates the mapping of Canada, in part by telling the stories of the exceptional individuals who helped to create the maps..."

And that's the end of the #maplesyrup season here (except for all the cleaning). 4.5 more gallons takes us to a record 45.7 gallons produced. (16.5 more than last year, which was the previous best) This last batch may be the tastiest yet. Dark and smooth.

I made French toast for breakfast. I’d never tried genuine maple syrup until I was an adult. Now that I have, I’m NEVER going back. It’s so much lighter and better than the fake crap.

Heute gab's ein göttliches Frühstück 🤩 Pancakes mit maple syrup barrelaged (mein Geburtstagsgeschenk von guten Freunden)

Maple Sunday (Saturday ed.) was a success! Got our maple sprinkles and some maple sugar barbecue rub!

#Maine #MaineMapleSunday #MapleSyrup

This weekend is the 40th annual Maine Maple Sunday (also Saturday at select locations lol 😆)! Sugar houses all over open up for tours, demonstrations, and to sell their stuff directly.

We’re going today since this one sugar house makes these maple sugar sprinkles that we haven’t found anywhere else and we had run out a couple of months ago!

#Maine #MaineMapleSunday #MapleSyrup

I can see the finish line now. Another week to go. Silver maples may get buddy today or tomorrow, sugars will be ok. Up over 41 gallons bottled. Topping my previous best season by 12 gallons...and who knows what's yet to happen here at the end. #maplesyrup #maple #maplesugaring

First batch of #MapleSyrup from #BackYardSugarBush2023! This is 3.8 L of syrup. And the house smells *wonderful*.

First maple syrup batch of the year. 11 gallons of sap made 25oz of syrup. Fingers crossed for a good sap run this week with daytime highs above 40°F and overnight lows down to around 25°F for a few days in a row.

The weekend boil at Sugar Roof Maple, Hinesburg Division. Four gallons, Fancy to “B” (my favorite; more flavor).
