At our place--not too far from Cumberland--there's no sap action yet, and the nights have been above freezing for several days. Hoping for more seasonable weather to get things flowing.<br /><br />We made our own syrup for the first time last year--good fun, and great to have a supply we can use with some abandon. But: You CANNOT IMAGINE the amount of boiling required to turn sap to syrup until you've done it!<br /><br />Cheers~ BrettTrout Caviarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236671377889601457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436582727672829057.post-88493527601480523672010-03-07T15:30:25.518-06:002010-03-07T15:30:25.518-06:00I am from Maple Syrup Land too!

A not so subtle hint that they want peas. Your soup sounds waaay better than just opening up a can of peas. :) Now your clam chowder sounds right up my alley and I even bought some canned clams to try making some. <br /><br />Happy Friday!<br />~ingridIngrid_3Bshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244727113979869203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436582727672829057.post-21489226471574135342010-03-05T19:38:14.583-06:002010-03-05T19:38:14.583-06:00So much a fan of maple syrup...and I get a gallon ...So much a fan of maple syrup...and I get a gallon each spring from an Amish farm about 10 minutes from my parent's "farm". The same farm (but different family member) let us watch the whole sugaring process one year awhile back, and what I loved the most was the sweet smell in the March air as we walked down a hill and through a field to their sugar shack. The ability to see that firsthand totally deepened my love for this, and when I get towards the bottom of my stash, I get downright stoogy with it!<br /><br />Some years, I'm lucky and get the deepest, darkest, nearly black amber syrup - my favorite. Some years I get middle of the road honey colored. It's all good. I must have missed that JS article, so thank you so much for posting about it! I've got to go and check it out. Wisconsin maple syrup is really something special. Take that, Vermont!<br /><br />Glad to have those soup recipes, too! We are all lucky to have the online Burp!
