It's Sugaring Season In Vermont!
The Sugar House!
I had the opportunity to go on a class field trip to a sugar house
with Wyatt's first grade class. The process is very cool!
When the sap comes from the tree it looks like
water, and has a very mild sugar taste. By boiling it down,
the water is released, and syrup is left. It takes
about 3-5 gallons of sap to get 1 qt of syrup.
