Maple Syrup Season 2010

Made my annual trip to Fulton's Maple Sugar Bush and Pancake House.
Yummy best describes this year's wonderful maple syrup.


If you have time, check the short video clip below
to observe maple sap running.
This is the old-fashioned way to collect sap.
Maple trees were tapped and the sap was collected in buckets.
Sap was collected by hand and dumped into large containers
and taken to the sugar shack for boiling.





Below is the modern state-of-the-art equipment for
boiling down maple sap to produce maple syrup.

Enjoy the taste of maple syrup - spring tonic
