So we taste tested our syrup Galena, and we both agree on the vanilla but I also taste a buttery flavour. The vanilla though is pretty overpowering!
I guess we do live close.. Are you in Westport area?
It's crazy how some people only 50 km north of me I.e. Smiths falls haven't had good sap flow... I guess the next few days are going to be slow according to the weather predictions.
We are continuing our boiling and syrup making.. Currently on our 4th batch!
Also, I've been told that the maple season is just getting started... Is this correct? How long does it usually last?
