Here's a question I've been meaning to ask but just haven't gotten to it until now.
Late this past season we were boiling down our last tank of sap. We stopped for the evening but weren't able to get to finish late the next afternoon. During that time the sap turned "goopy" and extemely cloudy. I've seen cloudy sap but never this goopy, stringy sap.
Sinse it was in the evaporator I fired it up and finished it off. The result was syrup that was had a very strange texture. It was very stringy and did not pour like syrup dors when finished.
My question is why did the sap do this overnight when it looked fine the day before? And is this syrup good for anything(would anyone buy it as commercial, etc)?
