I made maple syrup once, tapped my own trees. It came out good, but it
takes forever and a day to boil it down 40:1 and uses a lot of energy.
I'll stick to letting someone else do it in larger more efficient
batches. I have a very small producer I buy from that has very good
syrup as long as I catch them before they sell out each year.
