Tapping The Maples At Briden Farm
Tapping the Maples at Briden Farm means having beautiful aromas filling our Country Kitchen! It also means we’ll have our own Maple Syrup, and so far we have done up 12 Bottles! Mind You it’s 12 one cup bottles, but if all goes well, in another week we should have at least 18 bottles and that’ll give us enough for one bottle every three weeks for a year! With any luck we may get another week and bring us up to around 24-26 bottles and that means we can consume one bottle every two weeks!
Now, it’s not all fun and games, it takes, on average, 40 Cups of Maple Sap for just one cup of Maple Syrup! So, when I say we have already made 12 one cup bottles, it means we’ve processed about 480 Cups, or 120 Quarts, of Sap! Not only does all that have to be gathered from the Maple Trees, it also has to have all the extra water extracted! While it’s possible todo it faster, we slowly steam off most of the water, then bring it to a boil at about 219°F or 103.889°C. This leaves us with a Grade “A” light to medium Amber Maple Syrup. The first time we made Maple Syrup was when we lived in Princedale and tapped trees here in Bear River. That resulted in a beautiful Maple Syrup that we entered in the competition at the Queens County Fair in Caledonia, Nova Scotia, where we took 1st Place for our Maple Syrup!
Now, have You ever wanted to make Your own Maple Syrup? It is a lot of work, especially if You have to go out and tap the Maple Trees, hang the buckets, empty the buckets, gather the Maple Sap, also known as Maple Water, which has some incredible health benefits! Now, if You’d like to make Maple Syrup, but aren’t able to go tap the Trees, or perhaps don’t have Maple Trees, we want to give You the opportunity to do so!
