big sap week mn!
Yes, weather looks good for us this week!
The last few days have just barely gotten at or over freezing here in Hastings so the sap was just barely running. I split some more wood on Sat so I should have enough fuel for this year..
Tomslusher - the sortilege (maple liquer) recipes I found were 2 parts Canadian Whiskey to 1 part maple syrup. Put in a sealed container and shake it for a couple minutes to blend it good. One recipe I saw said to shake it daily for a week or something and let it steep for a few weeks but IMO its great fresh with no aging required. If you and your friends like whiskey and maple syrup mix some of this up and keep it in a snow bank near your evap to welcome friends/helpers.
good luck this week everyone!!!
