As a side note the Greater Worcester Land Trust has been tapping and sugaring sugar maple trees at the Nick's Woods property in North Worcester (there is a large sign on Rte. 122A.)
Saturday the stage was set by Roger, Mike, Kim, and Bob (with critical technical assistance from Richard) with tapping and hanging buckets (in the rain no less.)
Sunday afternoon saw the first boil of the season led by Roger.
Today I worked with a crew to boil down some 6 plus large galvanized buckets of sap.
Tonight we were boiling that down further to "finish" the syrup on the stove.
Final result: 2 quarts of Worcester's own Maple Syrup!
This is our third year of making maple syrup here in Worcester and the results never fail to amaze me.
Presently the Lodge smells nice and the refrigerator is chilling it down.
