Barons. The local' team defeated the visitors. by 6-2, in a game at the Seaforth Community Arena. (Expositor Photo) Naturally speaking eakin by Steve Cook Maple syrup North -American: Indians introduced the white settlers to maple sugar and since then,."sugaring off " has become a late winter tradition on the continent's north. east, Because of the value of the sweet sap , to the Indians: they quickly surrounded -its - origin vith.myths and superstitions, The Mohicans, for instance, believed that the melting, Snow `in the spring furnished the Maple trees with their sap. The.snow, which rime from the sky, wasin fact the oil of the great celestial bear which had been killed by winter hunters, The. Chippewas and Ottawas believed the Ne naw-bo-zhoo tone of their less ;likeable spirits) on finding the sweet sap deliber ately diulted it so it involved a lot ofwork to obtain the. sugar, This, it was felt, 'would. make the sugar much more: valuhble to his people. Our Indians gathered th e sap by making a large V-shaped gash in the trunk. A reed, curved piece of bark or hollow twig was placed in the point of the Vee to trickle the sap into a large trough. The troughs were. generally made from bark or carved from a basswood 'fog and were also . used to separate the sugar.;The'method' they :used involved alternately heating the sap with hot rocks and then letting itfreeze. The ice which formed was skimmed. off, and the process repeated till only the thick syrup. remained. Today, of course, methods are much more efficient, but the principle is the same. if you have a couple of big maples on your property, it, may be possible for you to get, as' much .as. 4 gallons ofsyrup from. them. That.' of course, is the: ovtimum vicld time but you would not be out of line to expect a gallon of syrup from any tree with a diameter of 25 inches or more. A tree of this size can yield (with four tap holes)' upto 100" gallons of sap which will generally produce two gallons of high quality syrup. The tapholes. themselves. should be bored from two to three feet above the .ground and about 3 iriches. deep. The holes should also : be bored with a . slight downward pitch. A 3/8 or 7/16 inch hold is the ideal size to tap a spile into • and all buckets should be covered if,possible. The ,bailing , down process. 'should, be done only . in ' a kitchen with .a. rood .ventilating fan as great amounts' of steam will be given off.. Start off by reducing the sap •to about 1/3 of its original volume; always keeping in mind that fresh sap will sour, quickly if stored: After the : initial `. reduction;, the .finishing off can begin. At this stage, a good candy thermometer. will come in very -handy, Set' a pan of water on the stove, and when. it reaches • a•rolling boil. check the temperature Now), se t;your 'Ireduced, sa to boil and` wen . lite' temperature is 7 degrees. F. above that of your boiling water, you have maple syrup.'` Soft sugar requires 26 to. 28 degrees F. above boiling' point: while hard sugar .needs 30 to 33 degrees F. When your syrup has cooled, store in. clean sterilized airtight jars and enjoy ypur homemade maplesyrup for as long as• it lasts Unless you have a• large woodlot handy, chances are you'll be looking fora source to replenish your stock ,before too many months have passed: e Sell (ienuirie Not every store tike ours can make that statement.
