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.
