Steps:
- 1. Place all but maple flavoring in a medium saucepan, start to cook over medium heat but, turn temperature down just when it reaches a boil.
- 2. Simmer just 7 minutes and remove from heat.
- 3. Cool slightly and add maple flavoring.
- 4. Once cool enough, place in an old syrup bottle, Mrs. Butterworths size works really well. Glass is better.
Tips:
- Use fresh maple sap: Fresh maple sap is essential for making the best maple syrup. Sap that has been sitting for a while will start to ferment, which will affect the flavor of the syrup.
- Boil the sap slowly: Boiling the sap slowly will allow the flavors to develop and concentrate. Don't try to rush the process, or you'll end up with a syrup that is thin and watery.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making sure that the syrup reaches the right temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold plate test to check the consistency of the syrup.
- Be patient: Making maple syrup takes time. It can take several hours to boil down the sap to the right consistency. But the wait is worth it! Fresh, homemade maple syrup is a delicious and unique treat.
Conclusion:
Making maple syrup at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and unique syrup that you can enjoy all year long. So, if you have access to fresh maple sap, I encourage you to give it a try! You won't be disappointed.
