Wow. I didn't realize that you were still getting swamped. And here I am relaxing with my feet up. Give us a current syrup total when you get a breather.

Uhh...current syrup....virgin bush of 6 taps/3 trees...3 batches totalling 5.20 l....home bush...4 batches, 18 taps/6 trees totalling 12l. So far.

50l of home tree sap in the garbage can *priority batch after boiling off current virgin batch* and what 33l? I think, from today, in holding.

Currently boiling virgin bush #4...I think 40l? Not counting the 13l I collected from them today.

Bring yer floaties, and a lifebelt and a liferaft...I should get a mug made up that says 'Eat. Sleep. Work. Boil sap. Make syrup'

ETA: Have found canning jars at local Sally Ann etc but usually the ones with zinc screw-thingies and glass lids. Very lucky to find anything relatively new.

Kyle...I have a 1/2 gallon glass jug....but safe to pour hot syrup into? Not about to try!!!!

And thanks 67Heaven but local HH says they only get in 2ls during *canning season*, meaning the fall. Sounded totally bewildered when I asked them nicely to get them in like right frickin now....*sigh.*...
