I bet you don’t know what this is – if I didn’t tell you – hehe!   Well, yesterday – the weather was spring like – so we went into the woods with Chloe’s grandparents and Aunt Helena – to collect Maple Syrup.  You see – Chloe’s grandfather owns lots of land outta town and he does this for a hobby.  Tapped the maple trees and collect the sap and then cooked them till they become Maple Syrup.  So instead of checking out for insurance on   wholesaleinsurance.net i decided to hop into the truck with them and went along.

Yes – all the clear liquid you see in these bottle are maple syrup.  Pretty cool eh.

    MB, this is very interesting and definitely new to me. I love maple syrup but never knew that’s how you get maple syrup. Aunty Kai Mah is very lucky to have homemade maple syrup sent to her with love from a far distant land.

    Looks like a lot of work. How long does it take to collect the sap?

    awesome! I didn’t know that’s how it was made. It must take good with no other additives.
