We are nearing the finish line. 4 plus hours stirring to sap to make sure it doesn't boil over. We had to keep it at 220 degrees. at this point you can smell maple syrup in the air.

Once finished , we bottled it up, into two 8 ounce salad dressing containers. 8 gallons boiled off to 16 oz! Tasting the warm syrup was an awesome feeling. Not bad for two first timers. Maybe this is the start of a new hobby.
