I promise I won't ever complain about trudging through the snow for buckets ever again. Jay

That's really cool. I bet if they were to watch us trudging through the snow they would probably think we are crazy as well.

I think I like doing maple much better :)

One thing I did notice is that they used some kind of tree bark to keep the sap from spoiling. I wonder if that imparts a taste to the palm sugar? I use palm sugar in Thai cooking but how would I know if there is an off taste or not unless you could taste it both ways with or without the tree bark. ??? Jay

We saw this in Thailand a few years ago. I was allowed to help stir!

My grandson was stationed in Korea(just came back to usa) He said they collected sap the same way we do.
