    My father in-law and I usually do it. Been a little cold here yet in Wisconsin but people are already tapping trees. We boil the sap over a wood fire and I love the smoky flavor the syrup gets from the fire. Liquid gold if you ask me. Nothing better than homemade maple syrup and homemade buttermilk pancakes. I swear if you make syrup and harvest some morals and ginseng and sell it all you can make a pretty decent living.
