Maple Syrup Time!
|
The sap is just starting to run. RJ put our taps in our Sugar Maples today and several of the taps are already starting . Cool nights, sunny days = sap. We collected about 100 gallons of sap last year. This year I will start processing a whole lot earlier so I don't lose any. The plan is to use the harvested syrup at the Inn for our guests and to hold a pancake breakfast throughout March. How much fun is that! Mike O'Brian, the Travel Getaway Guy, suggested we hold the breakfast and he would help with publicity. He does a special show on those businesses around the area that harvest their own maple syrup and hold these pancake breakfasts. So cool! Although it's a lot of work it certainly it worth it when it's finished. Last year, my maple cake with maple frosting was probably the most popular cake I baked. The Genesee Country Village and Museum will be holding their Sap, Syrup, and Sugar festival in March for three weekends (March 14-15, 21-22, and 28-29). It is definitely worth the visit. Visitors will learn how the make maple syrup just as it was done in the 1800s. Plus you get to sample maple candy and syrup made right out of the pot. I usually have several people stay with me and enjoy a museum visit during that time. www.gcv.org. Check it out! |
