Nice day for a walk.
Came across some syrup making in progress.
45 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.
It smelled pretty good in the hut.

4 bottles with increasing amounts of dark brown syrup in them. The first has about 2.5 oz in it and the last has about 5 oz in it
The amount of handmade, black walnut syrup you get is directly proportionate to how much I like you

Collecting sap before it freezes overnight and this knucklehead comes darting out of the woods to lend moral support
#syrupseason
Despite it all, the maple sap still starts running! #syrupseason
The payoff
#syrupseason
6 1/2 gallons of sap collected over a week becomes just under 8 oz of syrup
It’s totally worth it though. God it’s incredible

First mini batch of Black Walnut Syrup: approaching 20 Brix
#syrupseason
Setting a evident for 2025 by immediately getting high and boiling sap
#syrupseason
So proud of my juicy boys!
One night got about two gallons. That’s like 8x what my first night got last year

Had a little help out there this evening #syrupseason
Just out here milking my trees #syrupseason

Sap is frozen in the spiles, slushy in the bags, static in the tree trunks today. #syrupseason
Word is sap is starting to run. #syrupseason
