    Michelle, it is but the taste is worth it. Not hard just takes time.. But you can knit while you watch the boiling process. Yeah!

    mmmm ... i can smell that sweet sweet smell of the maple syrup boiling down ... yummy! good for you ~ it looks like you got quite a batch!
    we have a few maple trees in our bush. my husband bought a few spouts and my dad gathered a bit of sap ... i was enthralled at the process, but even more taken with how much liquid it takes, as well as time, to cook down to a syrup! it was a number of years ago we tried and something i maybe will try again some day ... : )
    thanks so much for your lovely comments at the i.studio today ...
    hugs to you ~
