SUGARING CAMARADERIE – CHECKING THE COLOR SAMPLES
Submitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 02/27/2009 - 14:11.
Producing maple sugar requires a lots of preparation, equipment, labor, and firewood. Right now in Ohio is when all these components are brought to bear on the maple sap. There are a number of tests (I will described some here in a comment soon) for determining the proper concentration of the sap as it flows through the pan still. But the color of the syrup is determined the old fashioned way – with the eye. Following are a few maple sugaring scenes from Geauga County. Thanks to my hosts and the crew for their hospitality!
