Mmmmmmmm, maple syrup - absolulely love the stuff. Eggs & ham cooked in syrup is my favorite spring-time brekky food.

Bill, it would take a hell of a lot of trees to make enough maple syrup to satisfy your own needs let alone any family member you may have. The sap has to be boiled for a good while before it thickens to syrup stage - most of water evaporates. One tree is not enough.

The light syrup is usually the biggest seller. There is so much of it during sap season that it isn't all that expensive.

OFFER: If anybody going to Wordapalooza wants some, I can always bring some down. Just drop me a note and I'll bring you a can.
