Maple Syrup etc.

Here are a couple of jars of the maple syrup--the lighter color means I didn't boil this batch down as much--but it's still really sweet. I boiled some batches down more and got a darker, sweeter syrup. Below is the maple sugar we made by accident during our sugarin' time. It is super sweet, tasting it is kind of like maple flavored brown sugar, with a smoky touch (thanks to boiling it down over a wood fire). We ended up with about a gallon of syrup which I canned in jelly jars.
