Questions & Answers

Q: How do you make maple syrup?

Maple syrup is made by boiling sap to evaporate the water and concentrate the sugar in the sap. The longer it boils, the sweeter and thicker the syrup becomes.

Q: How much sap is needed to make syrup?

It takes about four, ten-gallon kettles of sap to produce just one gallon of syrup. This is because a lot of water evaporates during the boiling process.

Q: Why is it important to wait for the syrup to cool?

The syrup needs to cool down before consuming it because it will be too hot straight from the boiling process. Cooling allows the syrup to thicken and reach a more enjoyable temperature.

Q: What does boiling sap do to the syrup?

Boiling sap removes the water content, resulting in a thicker and sweeter syrup. The longer it boils, the darker the syrup becomes.
