Everyone's favorite time of year is finally here...
Maple syrup!!
We just recently visited a local maple sugar bush ~ Ferrier's Maplebee Farms ~ in Kearney, Ontario with the family and got to taste first hand how great this seasons batch of maple syrup is.
Highlight of the day: Asha loved putting her head under the tap and stealing a little sap before it hit the production line. There were smiles all around!
The kids absolutely loved getting to see and hear all about how the whole process works. From the beginning stages of finding and tapping the maple trees on the property to running the lines from tree to tree and watching the sap actually running through the lines down to the infamous silver buckets often used to collect sap.
Although that Maple Syrup if watched and cared for properly will be some of the tastiest they have ever had. I will tell you it was...when we got it home after picking up our 1 gallon bottle of syrup from the first batch and had it over pancakes we were all amazed!
Mmmmmm....is all we can say!
~Here are some of the different kinds of maple syrup that can be made from Amber- dark~
One thing that can't go without mentioning is we sure take our hats off to the Maple syrup producers all around because it takes a great deal of time and attention to sit and boil and sit and watch and sit and boil the sap down until it gets to just the right temperature which is 218 degrees. At which point you have to get it off right then or your maple syrup goes from being great to being burnt candy. This process can take hours and requires your full attention. So way to go Maple Syrup producers...we are sending a big Thank you out to you because pancakes all over the world just wouldn't be the same without our perfectly made Canadian Maple Syrup!
