Chef Rob and his staff prepared our first small batch of maple sap over the weekend into Maple Syrup and it tastes yummy. Chef came up with the idea of boiling it down in his steam cooker. It can only handle about 15 gallons of sap at a time. As it boils down, you add more material to the cooker. Our sap production this year is very disappointing but at least we have enough material for the 40 Mile Wine Dinner held later this year. I expect we will have some additional sap drawn this week with cooler weather on the way so our members can enjoy some french toast or pancakes.
