Northern Ontario 2023
I finished and bottled my first syrup of 2023, at 1:30 am, January 1.
Not having boiled it on a wood fire, it has a different taste. Still great, but different.
There should be three more days of sap flow, before it shuts down. The sap flowing late December and early January is not bad for Northern Ontario.
