First time making syrup. Located in Pembroke, ON.
Tapped 10 tree, 13 taps about ten days ago. Been collecting every night or two and freezing the sap to keep. Had two really good days but other than that pretty slow. Boiled what I had today and I am a little confused with my results!
I started with only 45 litres of sap and got 2 litres of syrup. About twice more than I expected. I boiled using a wood stove outside and finished on the kitchen stove. Used a thermometer to get to 7.5 degrees above boiling water. I compared the finished syrup with some bought syrup and the consistency is similar, the taste seems good also but I am still worried that I didn't boil it enough due to the amount I was left with.
The end product is a little cloudy, I was planning on using the pre filters I bought from the hardware store then coffee filters for last filtering. I ended up abandoning the coffee filter idea. Seemed impossible to get the syrup through them, would love to hear what others do with the coffee filters!
