Maple syrup

We went with the Moms Club to the Sarrett and learned about how they get Maple Syrup from maple trees. It was so interesting. I couldn't believe how many gallons of maple sap it takes to make one quart of maple syrup. I now know why it is so expensive. I also learned that the temperature has to be just right too. This year the season was really short because the 80 deg weather in February caused the maple trees to bloom early and once the leaves come out the sap turns a funny taste and it is no longer good for maple syrup.
