    Many thing on our table have maple in them, Basted the Turkey, in the squash, in the pumpkin pie, on the vegetables. Likely more that I'm not remembering.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    I use maple in the orange dressing for the duck and in the sweet potatoes.

    Maple pecan pie, and maple Long Island iced tea afterward. Also, a good source of feedback for different experiments... coffee infused syrup in our case. It was a big hit.

    Pumpkin pie made with maple sugar, served warm out of the oven with a dollop of whipped cream and maple syrup drizzled over it. Excellent! Ted

    2017- 150 taps, 13 gallons after building an evaporator
    2018- goal is 240+ taps. 20+ gallons.
    2018 Reality- 235 taps, 5 gallons of syrup. Average 50 birch taps and 3 gallons of syrup.
    2019- 180 maple taps, 20 gallons of finished syrup.
    ~ 160 birch taps, 13 finished gallons of syrup.

    Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts. Not traditional for thanksgiving, but always a favorite.

    We tried a Maple Cheesecake this year. The recipe was from Cabot Creamery and can easily be found on line. I followed the recipe, except that I did it in a traditional pie plate - and I added maple crumble on top. It was excellent!
