Reader Comments on Classic: Making Maple Syrup from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Tue, 13 May 2008 06:05:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/interact/10things/maplesyrup Being originallly from Connecticut and seeing my mother tap a maple tree in Avon, Conn. as a child, it makes me long for Vermont. I have been there several times and would live there if I could afford a good warm house and a fireplace or cast iron stove. Several years ago, I spent several days with Montpelier as home base and drove to various towns of interest. On my way back south I felt as if the river beside the highway was offering me a race to the bottom. Stories of winter hardships overcome and maple sugaring are a delight for me, now living in Missouri. Thank you for this awesome website!

I can relate to maple sugaring. My husband and I tapped some trees at his parents property,( maybe 5 years ago back when propane was $6.00 a fill ) and we brought it back to our place to boil it on a propane burner with a high pressure regulator,and when we boiled it down far enough we brought it in the house and finished it off on the stove. I really like the darker maple syrup it has more of a maple flavor. I always like to read articles on sugaring Thank You Karen Beaudreau Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:09:47 +0100
