My Actifit Report Card: January 31 2022
Hey everybody and thanks for stopping by!
It’s a sappy kind of day!😎👍 We headed out to begin the boiling process for our Big Leaf Maple tree sap! Everything was ready to go.
We set up the turkey fryer, but before lighting it, we needed to strain that 5 gallon bucket of tree sap, hence the cheesecloth you see draped over the pot. I fixed it in place with a super sized rubber band. @silvertop did the honors.
Once that was done, I took off the cloth and put the lid on. @silvertop fired up the fryer. It began heating fairly quickly.
Maple tree sap needs to boil down and become concentrated. Boil the water out, and the sugar remains.
As you can see, it was in a full rolling boil. Notice in this next picture, the color difference of the sap from the previous picture.
It’s turning a light golden color and the smell reminds me of kettle corn. It’s almost buttery sweet smelling. The light breeze would blow the steam my way every now and again.
We boiled approximately 9 gallons down to about 3.5. However, it is a 2 day project as we ran out of daylight and time. Tomorrow morning, we’ll finish up the syrup and also roast that coffee for my customer. Another busy day for sure!
I think we’ve decided the maple syrup adventure is going to be an annual thing. My youngest son is interested in having some which would make a special present!
That’s gonna be it for now. Take care and have a blessed evening! 👣🐑☕️🌳🍯😁😎👍🤗😴

Stay Safe with the Turkey Fryer,
Though now that I think about it...🤔😅😂
It's probably another world, if your not throwing a
frozen turkey in one!
(Didn't think of that before...)!
Have a Blessed Tuesday!
🙋🙏🏼🌄🙏🏼🙋
No worries @lesmann! It's just tree sap and it was fine. I don't think I want to fry a turkey; I'd worry too much!
I actually sat with my legs on both side of the fryer as after 4 hours outside, I was cold! It kept my legs warm; didn't do a whole lot for the rest of me though, lol!
I'm looking forward to maple syrup tomorrow1. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely evening!
Absolutely and U-2!
🤗😎👍

Oh that looks like something I would like. But why not share this in foodies beehive?
Love the prices and don’t know kettle corn but a buttery smell sounds lovely.
Another day for you to finish it. 2 days of fun and coffee , happy Tuesday dear
Hey @brittandjosie! I thought about that, but because I post daily in actifit, I don't usually have much time to do multiple posts. I figured the foodies folks might not like an actifit post showing up in their community. I've had that happen before with another community and I had to stop posting there.😔
Thanks for stopping by and take care!🤗💜
