We finally decide it was time to boil the sap (see this post). I set up the gas stove and put the pot on to boil. Keep in mind, it takes 40 litres of sap to make 1 litre of maple syrup. About 4 hours later, we had about 500 mL of syrup. We strained it through J-cloth and is it ever sweet. I think I boiled it a bit too much, as it is much sweeter than regular syrup, but not as much as last year when I burnt it. We had it on ice cream, and had enough for several pancake breakfasts, and it is really good.
