    Growing up in VT...springtime meant many buddies skipping school to help their families run their sugar sheds.  Maple syrup is hard work but that shit is so good.

    Further, Scruffy... your pizza was like a multi-purpose tool: there were at least three edible bites (making it legit food)... aaand... several sections of it could serve as briquettes for barbequing or for road marking on lighter concrete.

    So your pizza wins!
    I hate you. 
    Dont you have some maple syrup to collect?
    You collect sap, you make it into syrup.

    You're welcome.
    Semantics? I Am confused. 

    Disinformation campaign.
    lol.  Explain the process to me.
    It's incredibly simple.  In spring, Sugar Maples of a certain size have a thin, clear sap that runs for a short time.  During that time you tap the tree to collect the sap and boil it down into syrup.
    Typically it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup if you are using appropriately sized sugar maples, up to 100 to 1 if using Birch or Hickory.
    Do you add anything to it at the end Or is that it?
    That's it, there's some straining in there at different points.
    Oh man I have to imagine that it tastes amazing!  You do this on your property?

    Nope, not blessed with an abundance of maples, mostly elm, oak, cherry, and an uncommon number of hickory.  Good lumber value, close to 10,000$ on less than 4 acres!
    Sugaring is too much a pain for a small homestead anyways.  As I said, 40-1 volume means a whole lot of boiling for a little syrup.  Must be done outdoors or walls and ceiling get slimy/sticky.  Big outfits use a special evaporator.
    I used to tap trees and run lines for a local Boy Scout camp for free syrup and 4$ and hour when I was a teen.
    Now I buy local Amish maple syrup.
    I'll take maple syrup over honey every day of the week when it comes to flavor, but honey is a miracle of nature.
    They hook up pumps to the spigots now and suck all the sap out through hoses.  It has gone mainline now.

    You can see the hoses in the pics above.  Remember when that first started happening, years ago, how odd it looked in the woods.
    SOOOO much easier, though.

    We started running lines in 2002, I think.  No pumps, just ran the lines to a collection point downhill.

    I cut myself off from pizza for 2 months before the trip so I have been pretty stoked about all the pie. Starting tomorrow you will see a more varied selection.

    O can't find fault in that, solid strategy.
    If you come across Tirolian Speck don't pass it up!

    I had more enjoyment from the cured meats in Italy than I did from pasta or pizza, but I hadn't done my research and I struck out some on both.  Italy has shitty pasta and pizza too lol
