Ingredients

Instructions

  1. COLLECT AND FILTER THE SAP

    Gather fresh maple sap by tapping a sugar maple tree and collecting the liquid in a clean bucket. Once enough sap is gathered, filter it through a cheesecloth to remove debris or impurities.

    Tip: Use a food-grade collection bucket to maintain purity and prevent contamination.
  1. BEGIN BOILING THE SAP

    Pour the filtered sap into a large pot and place it over medium-high heat. Bring it to a rolling boil, allowing the water to evaporate gradually while concentrating the natural sugars.

    Tip: A wide, shallow pan speeds up evaporation compared to a deep pot.
  1. MONITOR AND REDUCE THE SYRUP

    As the sap reduces, lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Keep a close eye on the process, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Once the sap thickens and darkens, check its temperature regularly.

    Tip: Use a candy thermometer to track the syrup’s temperature; it should reach around 104°C for proper consistency.
  1. FINAL STRAINING AND COOLING

    Once the syrup reaches the desired thickness, remove it from the heat and strain it through another layer of cheesecloth into a clean storage container. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before sealing the bottles.

    Tip: If any foam forms on top, skim it off to maintain clarity and smooth texture.
  1. STORE AND USE

    Pour the finished syrup into sterilized glass jars or bottles, sealing them tightly. Store in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place. Use for drizzling over pancakes, desserts or even as a sweetener in beverages.

    Tip: Refrigerated maple syrup lasts for months, while freezing extends its shelf life even further.
