There are many commercial maple liquors, I bet a lot of them started as moonshine. I've made some maple soda before, just cook the sap till the desired sweetness and to sterilize it and carbonate it, it's pretty good. I've always wondered what a beer prepared with sap instead of water would be like.
We make a drink up at camp that involves a shot glass of 'shine with a blob of maple syrup in it. We call it "gettin fluffed"......lmao!!
Makes perfect sense, thanks. I've never noticed any holes in them, that's why I wondered why they were like that.... interesting.
Yes. That is, you can do either or both. Most folks will put in fridge after opening but if you have a cool spot it will do nicely. What happens if it starts to get moldy? Good question! Put it into a pan and bring it to a boil on the stove. Put back in jug. Drinking the sap when about 1/2 done is a fantastic drink! So is snow cream! Pour maple syrup on fresh snow. Most years you'll get some of that light fluffy snow during season. Get it quickly and make some snow cream. Just don't use yellow snow.
They call that "sugar on snow" in Vermont, Dennis. Went to many winter fests there as a kid. They'd have hot maple syrup in decanters and we'd get to pour it over snow in a bowl. It would turn the syrup to kind of a taffy... awesome.
Way up nort' wear da huskies go, Don't you eat dat yellow snow! Was coming home from work the other day and saw several buckets on trees at the Davis Purdue farm. First I'd seen of them around here. I guess you never know what those Purdue boys are up to. Ya know what you call a parking lot full of waxed up shiny John Deeres in West Lafayette? Purdue prom night! Ah, hah hah hah hah!
