We get old timers who see the steam rising and stop by and tip one or two beers,just to tell us about how they used to boil sap when they were working for the old farm.It was syrup when it would sheet off the scoop.To keep the foam down they would hang a strip of bacon over the side of the sap pan.Nothing better than a dropped egg in the front pan for breakfast!Most every sugarhouse starts with boiling sap in mothers roasting pan and removing the wallpaper in the kitchen finishing off.I think everyone has a story about the first time they smelled the sap pans burning.Not a pleasant smell. This weekends run fizzled as the temps didn't get cold enough at night.Gotta have the cold with the warm.
